Tanzanian President Urges People to Be Wise on AIDSOctober 17, 2001 Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa on Sunday urged his people to respect professional advice on how to combat HIV/AIDS, warning them that antiretroviral drugs are not a solution to the killer disease. Although many people know about AIDS, he said, that knowledge was not leading them to change their behavior. A national AIDS policy will be launched soon, Mkapa said. It is estimated that one in every 10 adults in Tanzania is HIV-positive, and 72,000 babies are born with HIV each year in the nation.
