<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Ida Numbeya Mukuka</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">, from Zambia, Africa knows all too well the impact of HIV-AIDS on communities in her home continent. In 2001, soon after her husband and brother
died of AIDS, she began working as an HIV counsellor in Lusaka, Zambia. As a gifted counsellor, Ida advised HIV-positive pregnant women on the prevention of mother-to-child transmission and provided support to people living with HIV. As the Director of Community
Outreach at the Center for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia, she developed a peer education program where people living with HIV and AIDS provide counselling and support services in public clinics offering antiretroviral drugs. Since 2007, Ida has served
as the field representative for the Stephen Lewis Foundation in Africa, where she uses her extensive knowledge and experience to help build the capacity of grassroots AIDS organizations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
