Text message service to fight Aids

A mobile phone text message service has been launched in Kenya in the battle against HIV/Aids. The non-governmental organisation (NGO) One World http://www.oneworld.net launched the service today to coincide with World Aids Day. As the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk reports, people will be able to use a special number to text questions on the issue and receive an answer for free. Subscribers to the service will be able to get daily tips on how to prevent the infection and cope with the pandemic.
