EFZ Executive Director Rev Pukuta Mwanza says people living with HIV/AID who are on treatment should continue with their treatment so that they can live normal lives and live longer.

Reverend Mwanza has also appealed to Zambians against stigmatizing and discriminating against people living with HIV and Aids.

He says it’s easier for people diagnosed with the virus to accept their status if the people around them give them hope and not stigmatize against them.

Reverend Mwanza has however, urged the people of Zambians especially young people to conduct themselves in a manner that is acceptable to avoid contracting the disease in preventable circumstances.
