Mobile Populations on Siyayinqoba Beat It! - SABC 1

On 12^th July Siyayinqoba Beat It! deals with mobile and marginalized groups and the reasons why these groups are often vulnerable to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Sex workers speak about being harassed by police and how decriminalisation of sex work would help to improve their access to health services. Truck drivers and seasonal farm workers too often find it difficult to access health services but there are projects that provide services to truckers on the road.

Siyayinqoba Beat It! is a weekly TV show for everyone living with HIV and AIDS, as well as their partners, families, friends and care givers. Since 1999 the show has provided a platform for people living with AIDS to share their challenges and victories. Many people living in isolation with HIV find that through Siyayinqoba Beat It! they are part of a vibrant and growing community of people who are meeting and beating the challenges of AIDS.  Siyayinqoba Beat It! is broadcast on SABC1 Thursdays at 13h30
