Smith, who is one of the Brothers for Life Ambassadors promoting HIV testing, led from the front on World AIDS Day when he publicly tested for HIV. He said: “I encourage all men to take responsibility for your own lives and your families, and I encourage you to go get an AIDS test.”

This initiative by Brothers for Life forms part of ongoing efforts in support of the Minister of Health’s campaign to get 15-million South Africans to test for HIV by June 2011.
