Celebrated HIV positive living activist Edwin Katamba aka MC Kats has in commemoration of the World Aids Day, 1st December, resolved to empower parents to engage their children in HIV – AIDS awareness and prevention. Kats made this avow on Thursday at the United Nations Regional Service Centre in Entebbe, where he was one of the key note speakers to mark the day.
MC Kats, who recently revealed that he was living positively, was in the company of Anatalia Ozzy, a fellow TV presenter. Kats and Anatalia Ozzy called for parents to make HIV awareness loud and clear for the children through a new hashtag #Equalize to #EndAIDS, a campaign that will take sixteen Days of Activism.
During this period, Mc Kats and his team will be lobbying the Ministry of Health and other agencies involved in the fight against the disease, to formulate processes for free access to treatment services. This, by providing Antiretroviral (ARV’S) drugs adequately, advancement and also end the stigma.

This is where either ritonavir or cobicistat increases the levels on one of the other drugs.

Ms. Caroline Marcah, who is linked to MC Kats talked about stigma while the religious formality of Candle lighting was officiated by Joan Kyogabirwe. The event was crowned by a cake cutting and the related pomp.
