Phoelyn says his song fits well in Zimbabwe's quest to reach that goal. "It is about getting to zero discrimination, zero stigma, zero deaths, zero TB-related deaths for people living with AIDS," Phoelyn added.

This song will be released this Saturday in the town of Beitbridge at the border of Zimbabwe and South Africa, the busiest border in the South African Development Community region. Madeline Dube of Zimbabwe's National AIDS Council explains why the government chose to mark World AIDS Day in this border region.

"We want to be able to target the communities to be aware of HIV/AIDS," said Dube. "This year's Zimbabwe health demographic survey shows that Matabeleland South has a high prevalence rate – it is at 21 percent. There are more than the country's average which is at 15 percent. So we are concerned that we need to communicate the HIV infection, this theme of 'Getting to Zero'."

Zimbabwe has made significant progress against AIDS but still faces an uphill battle with the disease. While the United Nations says new HIV infection rates have dropped by 50 percent in Zimbabwe, the country still has 1.2 million people living with the virus.
