    00.45.53 INTERVIEW GARY: ...right at the tip of Africa we are colouring Cape Town red to try and bring an awareness of AIDS & HIV...
    00.46.31 ..we're right at the tip of Africa; it's our purpose to send a kind of a beacon light up north to try and halt the spread of the epidemic and support people who are living with HIV & AIDS.
    00.46.48 RE: AIDS EDUCATION - CAN INFORM ABOUT PREVENTION -...informing peoples minds doesn't change people's behaviour...
    00.47.08 CAMPAIGN MORE FOCUSED ON PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOUR - RAISING AWARENESS OF BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
    00.47.26 RAISE AWARENESS OF ANTI-DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING WITH HIV & AIDS
    00.47.35 ...Aids & Hiv is becoming the new marker of Apartheid; society is beginning to divide itself amongst those who are positive and those who are negative & we're trying to put a halt to that. We can't go back to the past; we can't go back to dividing society now by some invisible virus where we used to do it by the colour of skin...
    00.48.02 FIGURES OF 10,4% = CONSERVATIVE & LOW - OUR TARGET = 2 THINGS WITH THIS CAMPAIGN ...to get a city-wide knowledge of iv & Aids...also trying to raise funds for the programme...and do massive awareness...
    00.48.30 ...bring home the truth that Hiv is really amongst us now; it's not something that's out there, it's here and we're trying to help people integrate that HIV instead of excluding - TARGET = BOTH FINANCIALLY & INTEGRATING THE COMMUNITY
    00.48.48 ...most people living with the virus in this country are living secretly with the virus; they are afraid of the stigma rejection of the prejudice...insurance industry... health community & employers even landlords...
    00.49.04 ...in general people are still living with a sense of secrecy, but most people who come out it's tough...
