Year of Publication:

2009

“Rhythm of Life” is Zambia’s first music festival and health fair developed under the Health Communication Partnership, a six-year project funded by USAID, which provided family planning, reproductive health and maternal and child health service, HIV counseling and testing, counseling and referral for male circumcision, malaria testing, and other health counseling services.

Bringing together the top musicians in Zambia in a training to be Health Ambassadors, this effort also led up to a “We are the World”-style music video and performance that included all the artists in a wildly popular song called “Rhythm of Life” featuring the legendary Oliver Mtukudzi. The lyrics of the song are about taking responsibility for your own health.

Get Tested for HIV

Source: Treatment Action Campaign Zambia

This pamphlet explains the importance of getting tested for HIV as the first step in protecting oneself and one’s partners and living a healthy life. It also explains that one should begin treatment as soon as the CD4 count is at or above 350. The longer one waits to get tested and then treated, the worse one’s condition will be the harder he or she will be to treat.
