South Africa must awake from AIDS denial, Obama says.
Byline: Jeff Zeleny and Laurie Goering
KHAYELITSHA, South Africa _ Sen. Barack Obama said Monday that the South African government must awake from its "denial" over the menacing AIDS crisis and he pledged to set an example for men across Africa by being tested for HIV when he arrives in Kenya late this week.
"There needs to be a sense of urgency and an almost clinical truth-telling about AIDS in this country for the problem to be solved," Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, said. "If it is not addressed in an unambiguous fashion, the percentage of people who are infected is going off the charts."
To make his point, Obama said he would step "in front of the cameras, so people can see there's nothing stigmatizing about getting an AIDS test." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which operates a treatment and research center in Kenya, asked Obama to be tested during his two-week trip to Africa.
