ja 30% aids drapp

[blugiant]

The Ministry of Health is reporting that there was a 30 per cent decrease in the number of new AIDS cases in 2007 when compared with the previous year.

Data also indicate a drop in the number of AIDS-related deaths.

Senior medical officer for the National HIV/STI Programme, Dr Kevin Harvey, has attributed the reduction largely to the introduction of public access to antiretroviral treatment since 2004.

Harvey said there is a large number of persons who should be on antiretrovirals, but they are yet to do HIV tests, adding that as a result, they were unaware of their status.

It is estimated that 6,500 people are in need of antiretroviral therapy. However, only approximately 4,736 are actually receiving treatment.

The 2007 HIV/AIDS Epidemic update also indicates that 73 per cent of all AIDS cases last year were in the 20 to 49 age group.

December 1 will be celebrated as World AIDS Day under the theme: 'Youth: Take the Lead'.

"The focus on youth is timely as young people are extremely vulnerable to HIV/AIDS because of their involvement in risky lifestyle practices, common at those ages," Harvey said.

Re: ja 30% aids case drapp

you saying that the real reason for the decline in HIV is the fact that JA is homophobic....

your argument is speculatory and not factual.

the reason is attributed to the fact that there has been a huge effort in spreading awareness, easy access to condoms, aomng other things.

and if u think JA is as homophobic as you would like to believe you better think again.
