The Health Minister, a dentist by profession, has spearheaded a potentially massive campaign to check the spread of HIV. That this was broadcast on First December, World AIDS Day was a significant coincidence. His aim was to subject around 300,000 students taking up their A levels and 100,000 undergraduates to compulsory HIV testing. The net would then spread to include O level students and even ‘members of clubs’ whoever they are. If he does so, a washing of spears will surely follow. His leading the charge of the needle pricking brigade has drawn no comments from either the medical or education fraternity.
