MULTI-DISEASE screening, such as that carried out by Bophelo, has drawn more people to testing as it removes the stigma attached to HIV-AIDS testing, says Professor Rich Feely from Boston University.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2009, Bophelo is a partnership between the Namibia Business Coalition on AIDS (Nabcoa), PharmAccess Foundation Namibia (PAF), and the Namibia Institute of Pathology (NIP).<\/p>\n

Bophelo aims to provide confidential on-site voluntary counselling and testing, as well as a wellness screening service for individuals.<\/p>\n

It also provides insight into health risks in the workplace and reports anonymous statistics to employers to improve employee HIV and wellness programmes.<\/p>\n

Using two mobile testing units, Bophelo conducted wellness screening at various workplaces across the country in 2009 and 2010 and reported their findings yesterday.<\/p>\n

Some 30 companies were visited and 11 192 people tested.<\/p>\n

Pancho Mulongeni, research assistant at PAF, said their findings indicate that HIV prevalence was highest in the manufacturing sector and lowest in the business and public administration sectors.<\/p>\n

However, the incidence of obesity is almost twice as high in the business and public administration sectors as it is in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n
