Technical Coordinator of the Ghana AIDS Commission in charge of the Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo Regions, Ahmed Ibrahim Bambillah, has cautioned residents against irresponsible behaviour to avoid contracting HIV.
He said statistics indicate that the three regions currently lead in HIV prevalence in the country.
The Programme Manager for the National AIDS-STI Control Programme, Dr. Stephen Ayisi Addo, has appealed to the public to support People Living with HIV and AIDS to help minimize the effects of their plight.
He said stigmatizing and abandoning such persons rather worsen an already demanding situation.
Speaking on HIV and AIDS prevention at a Stakeholders`meeting, Dr. Addo urged all to handle issues regarding HIV and AIDS without discrimination.
