Barbara Hogan , new health minister of South Africa broke from a decade of discredited government policies on AIDS. On monday, two weeks after she became health minister, she pronounced that HIV and AIDS are related, and so will scale up mother-to-child prevention programs. and she also said in last 10 years government policies had failed, and needs to improve on anti-AIDS medicines. Because south Africa has the highest rate of HIV and AIDS.

This news story is worthy because it is about to change what has happened last 10 years. and it is going to affect alot of people, and it maybe affect countries in that region, since alot of other african countries have similar problems with AIDS and HIVs.
