Is Anne Hallward promoting what Epstein calls “social cohesion” with Safe Space Radio?

            Talking about AIDS in South Africa and Uganda is a problem because when people are taught about prevention and the virus in general it is brief, and boring. There is no talk about having AIDS because it is an issue that is to be avoided in the culture. Many people are not educated enough or are just told not to talk about it. Anne Hallward is a psychiatrist that created a radio station called Safe Space Radio. This radio station was made to help people talk about any issue that they are having anonymously. If something like this was created in South Africa and Uganda there would be more knowledge of the virus and prevention matters could be taken. It is all anonymous so nobody would know who has called in or is speaking. There could also be a question and answer so if someone does not have access to a phone they can write in and their questions or problems can be  answered and solved anonymously as well. This could create Social Cohesion in the sense that the AIDS rate will be reduced and there will be less infections. It will also bring the community together for education about what AIDS is and provide a plethora of ways to prevent contracting the virus. If  someone in South Africa or Uganda, there would be a dramatic decrease in people that have contracted this virus.

    I’m confused about the fact that you are putting South Africa and Uganda in the same category. Take a closer look at “AIDS, Inc.” to find how Epstein describes the crucial differences of these two country’s approaches to HIV/AIDS.
