Major toll free mobile telephones already run in Africa. The numbers direct callers to counsellors on HIV-aids concern.

According to Michael Sidibe, the executive director of the United States AIDS Agency, the continent is plagued by inadequate health facilities.

The objective of this idea is to give people free communication and quality advice without going to see a counsellor.

The toll free mobile phone idea is another approach since despite the service rendered in Sub-Saharan Africa to combat HIV, the region remains the world’s most heavily affected, having 67% of HIV infections.
