By Own Correspondent| Independent legislator for Norton Temba Mliswa has challenged society to stop stigmatising and discriminating against people living with HIV saying he will soon set up a foundation to challenge the stigmatisation of people living with the virus.

Mliswa, who underwent a public HIV test (Tuesday) following allegations by one Twitter character only identified as @maitindo that he had infected a young girl with a sexually transmitted infection urged society to embrace people living with HIV regardless of their status.

Said Mliswa:

I have tested negative but even if I had tested positive it means nothing. HIV is not a death sentence and I will be launching a foundation focusing on the stigmatisation issue. pic.twitter.com/7fRK2QW2wD
