Robby supports AIDS website

JAKARTA: Designer/entertainer Robby Tumewu admitted that he had had a medical checkup, including a blood test for HIV/AIDS, every year since the death of fellow singer Didi Mirhad several years ago.

"Many people laughed when they found out that I had taken a blood test. They didn't realize how lethal AIDS could be," he said at the launch of Baby Jim Aditya's website.

Robby said people should be aware of AIDS and were now able to access information even more easily from websites.

"I'm not familiar with browsing the Internet, but I suggest that people use the technology to obtain potentially life-saving information on AIDS. -- JP
