Women have earned many titles over the years. From matriarchs to leaders, of both households and companies. In most cases, women are thought to be beings of soft fragrant femininity, but they can wield iron fists when the occasion arises.
Many are blessed with sharp wit and intellect, creating waves within male-dominated industries.

People living with HIV/Aids also need an income
The International Labour Organization (ILO) has agreed on a new International Labour Standard (the recommendation concerning HIV/Aids and the World of Work), aimed at protecting people living with HIV/Aids in the workplace.
It held a series of events under the theme “Preventing HIV, Protecting human rights at work” at the 2010 AIDS Conference to mark the launch of this labour standard adopted in June by the representatives of the ILO committee of governments, employers and workers.

New Start is South Africa's largest non profit HIV counselling and testing programme. It is managed by the Society for Family Health (SFH). At New Start, you will meet with an HIV counsellor in a private room, learn your HIV status and work with your counsellor to come up with a plan to stay healthy – whether you test positive or negative.
The service is completely anonymous and confidential, meaning that you will never be asked for your name, nor will your information and status be shared with anybody else. The counsellors who will guide you through the process are highly trained and very professional.

History
Written by Alan Whiteside
Thursday, 24 April 2008
The Vision... for a Counselling and Training Centre was part of Malcolm Worsley’s life for many years. The seed was sown in the mid-eighties but it wasn’t until 1989 that the idea was allowed to develop further. Whilst serving as a Probation Officer in Haverigg Prison, Cumbria Malcolm developed a multi-agency approach to counselling life sentence prisoners and drug addicts. Outside working hours Malcolm was a Lay Reader in the Church of England. In both areas he recognised people were often concerned with forgiveness of guilt. He began to combine his secular knowledge with his Christian training both inside and outside the prison. What evolved was a model of counselling training and practice based around the Beatitudes that provided the foundation for developing the work of the Philippi Trust.

 All the latest from the AIDS 2010 Conference in Vienna, Austria
Important: The C Word
Scientists have long complained that science takes a back seat at the International AIDS Conference, but it came back with a vengeance in Vienna. Drugs to treat HIV/Aids are getting much better: Researchers are getting closer to a pill-a-day that has few side effects and lessens the risk of resistance. Several sessions were devoted to the notion that HIV can be eliminated from the body or suppressed permanently – meaning a cure.
Until recently, no one dared utter the C word.
