Article-Summary: 

In a rare show of unity, several lawmakers from Zimbabwe's two rival parties on Friday underwent voluntary HIV tests in a bid to inspire others to do the same to curb the Aids pandemic in the southern African country. Zimbabwe is deeply divided politically, but at a news conference ahead of the testing, lawmakers from the ruling party and the opposition said they stood shoulder-to-shoulder in trying to combat the HIV virus.
