For the first time I agree with Lunguzi on this one
this already started long time ago. The first day a pregnant woman goes for checkup she is tested for HIV and this is done on the baby when its just born. So u tell me this was being done illegally.. ForGod’SakeMalawi Am considering a lawsuit
Its not a law for now thats why some pregnant women give birth at home because they do not want to get tested. They are not punished for that and even partners who refuse are not punished if they refuse to get tested. If the law comes into play it will be compulsory for each and every pregnant women and her partner and failure to do that will be punishable at law. Thats the Bill at hand

We should welcome this policy. Mandatory testing for pregnant women and their partners is long overdue and Juliana Lunguzi (MP) is completely misguided. Does Lunguzi really have a medical background? Her statements make me doubt this. Both men and women should be tested of HIV when the woman is pregnant. The men who refuse or run away from testing are the ones spreading the virus and government should track them down i.e. punish those who infect others with HIV.
Lunguzi is WRONG again. I come to realise Lunguzi is a loud-mouth and attention seeker whose ideas are not progressive at all. Mandatory HIV testing for pregnant women and their husbands or partners is the RIGHT thing to do. It is necessary to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission but also stop the spread of the virus. I fact, those who have the virus (woman and man) will be treated in time. If previous governments had implemented mandatory HIV testing for pregnant women and partners as a policy, our country would not have been savaged by HIV-AIDS. Please, Madame Lunguzi stop parading… Read more »
You are late, this is already being practiced in all hospitals – even private ones. Mzimayi akakana kuyezetsa saloledwa kupita ku sikelo.
Can someone in the medical field school me. My understanding was that pregnant women are already being tested for HIV without their consent when they first attend the antenatal clinic. If that is true, then a new development will only be the enactment of the law and the subsequent test for the partner. If this is put into law, what will be the penalty for non-compliance. Shall you chase every man who makes that woman pregnant? Really, is that the path that we would like to take in order to get donor money? I think I am missing some details.… Read more »
Compulsory abortions to all positive pregrant women with less than K50,000 of yearly income
All should be equally tested. We men are mostly responsible for this and to try to hide it is very irresponsible and selfish. Listen you male MPs.
It will be a very stupid law if men are excluded and it will solve nothing. The spread will continue.
