Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has urged people living with HIV and Aids to work with government to intensify the fight against the disease.

Motsoaledi says infighting must stop and the country must stand shoulder to shoulder with guns blazing to fight the scourge.

The South African National Aids Council, together with government, is committed to cut the rate of the infection by 50 percent by 2011 and ensure that 80 % of people who need the treatment have access to it.
