AIDS on Death Certificate
23/11/2006 12:43
Too many wrongs are tolerated, even enforced by governments, in order to promote a "greater good", ie. lying on death certificates, killing babies and calling it "choice", stealing and calling it "poverty", discrimination and calling it "affirmative action". Just another reason, why our morally-starved nation cannot distinguish right from wrong! Marina - Marina Croukamp |

We as a free nation need to know the real impact that HIV Aids have and it should be made public as the stats currently is totally misleading - Hannes Stoltz |

TB
23/11/2006 12:47
We all know that most cases of TB are aids related, so why not just spit it out.
Also, I think putting 'AIDS' as a cause of death will have a positive impact on lowering the infection rate. The affected population see TB and Pnemonia on the death certificates if family and friends, so they don't see/understand that AIDS actually caused the death. - Dillon Mantle |

WHETHER OR NOT THE WORD
23/11/2006 12:47
Yes, why not? You die the way you live ... After all the monies that has been spent (wasted?) by the government on educating people on the seriousness of hiv/aids and there are still those who do not take any precautions, then the cause of such a person's passing should be made known to the world. Maybe then others will realise the seriousness of the disease and take the necessary steps to prevent it from happening to them. - lillian van den berg |

Reality

Aids is a reality and for as long as there is "no definite cure" our people will continue to die in hundreds!! So why be so secretivie over an issue which has infected and affected us in some way. So yes, lets have it on death certificates for as long as its the cause of death..... - felmon |

Aids on a death certificate
23/11/2006 13:05
How ridiculous. The doctor has to give the cause of death! The WHO have implemented the ICD10 coding system and everytime you visit the doctor the diagnosis has to be coded accordingly!
The first problem here is that you have a Minister of Health who has politicised the HPCSA and they are towing the party line of HIV does not cause Aids!!
The second issue is that Life Insurers should not and must not be allowed to discriminate against people- even in death! - Chris Morley |

Aids related illnesses
23/11/2006 13:13
We cannot hide from the fact that Aids and therefore Aids related illnesses exist. It is better for the sake of clarity / democracy to issue a death certificate with the cause of death being "Aids related TB/whatever". We have a right to know how severe the epidemic actually is, and denying its existence is denying our rights as citizens of this country - Shannon |

The government has failed the people of SA and doesn't want to reveal the extent of the AIDS epidemic. In having doctor lie about the causes of death they can hide Manto's failure as minister of health, and the ANC's policy. It's a disgrace, and they should wake up. - Jan |

Aids - A reality
23/11/2006 13:23
Why should it be a hidden fact. SA is so big on this subject anyway, but no one wants to admit this on a certificate, but everyone that is someone in this country fights against Aids. Pneumonia can not carry the blame for everything. - Ingrid |

A way around
23/11/2006 13:38
If whoever is ruling on the doctor's actions have a problem with the term "Aids" then perhaps they will permit "Garlic and Beetroot Poisoning - GBP" to be substituted in future. - eddie |
