Yorkshire MESMAC’s African Voices Podcasts

Being able to listen to your own language is one of the best ways of absorbing important information, with this in mind, Yorkshire MESMAC has produced a series of short podcasts on HIV and surrounding issues. The podcasts are in the following different languages: English, French, Luganda, Shona, Swahili and Yoruba.

Each podcast covers essential information for Africans on HIV in five segments:-

What is HIV?
How is HIV transmitted?
Getting tested for HIV
Being positive and visiting the clinic
HIV and medication

Listeners are also provided with contact details for the ‘Do It Right’ – Information and Advice Line on 0800 0976 500 which was set up to support African people with questions about HIV. To access the free podcasts online, go to:
