Markito: A total of 23,495 people tested positive for HIV the first half of this year (January to June).
The figure is two per cent of the 948,094 people who undertook HIV testing from January to June 2022.


They were from different segments of the population, namely: men, pregnant women, non-pregnant women, homosexuals and female s*x workers.

The Programme Manager of the National STIs and HIV/AIDS Control Programme, Dr Stephen Ayisi Addo, who made this known in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra, said even though last year’s half year figure was 25,545, this year’s figure was too high.


“The figure for this new infection is too high, so we need to intensify education to let people know that HIV is still real; it is around and there must be constant reminders. We have to let people know that they need to stick to the prevention strategies, whether they are children or adults,” he said.


He said of the number of people who presented themselves for testing, four per cent each were from the Bono, Ahafo, Eastern and Western North regions, while the Ashanti and the Greater Accra regions had three per cent each.

For the rest of the regions, he said, while some had two per cent, others had a percentage each.


Dr Ayisi Addo said most of the 23,495 people who tested positive had since been put on HIV treatment.

Reasons for new cases

On reasons for the new cases, the Programme Manager said unlike small pox and other diseases that had been eliminated, HIV was still circulating among the population, and that as long as people had s*x and were getting married, they would transmit it to others.

He said complacency and ignorance were responsible for the new cases, explaining that because health authorities were no longer making noise about the dangers of the disease, people thought there was no longer a problem.

"Some youth today don't know HIV is there. Some know, but they have assumed that it’s gone. People are now more afraid of COVID-19 and the Marburg fever than they are of AIDS," he pointed out.


Overall, he said, as of December 2021, the estimated population of HIV positive persons in the country was 350,000, with only 71 per cent being identified by the control programme.

Of that number, be noted, over 245,000, representing 99 per cent, were on treatment as of June this year.

About 79 per cent of those who had the disease and were taking their medication had reached that stage where the disease is no longer transmittable


What is the 95/95/95 target?

The first 95 means that by 2025, 95 per cent of the total population of persons who are HIV positive should know their HIV status.

The second 95 means that by 2025, 95 per cent of those who tested for HIV should be on medication if they tested positive, while the last 95 says that by 2025, the 95 per cent who are taking their medication should have viral suppression.


Ghana currently has achieved 71/99/79 of this target.


He said he was concerned about the 29 per cent of the population who did not know their HIV status and the 21 per cent people living with HIV who had still not reached the viral suppression stage, explaining that what it meant was that those 21 per cent could still transmit the disease to their partners and other people.

Ghana was expected to test about 1.2 million people every year.

Prevalence

the prevalence of the disease was higher in men who had s*x with men, with a prevalence rate of 18 per cent; female s*x workers, with a prevalence of 4.6 per cent, and those who have STIs, with a prevalence of about 12 per cent, according to the last survey they did.



He said the 12 per cent prevalence recorded for those with STIs meant that if one had an existing STI, one had a higher risk of getting HIV.

“This we knew earlier, and that is why our key strategy is to detect and prevent STIs, such as syphilis and chlamydia, and treat them. Because if the person is free from infection, the risk of getting HIV is low,” he explained.

Considering other deadly viruses, HIV is highly overrated in media coverages

Tranquility: When Nkechi left the other boys started blaming Sam for telling Nkechi what was going on. They were about to leave when they saw Nkechi coming outside again. And, without saying any word to them she climbed the tree again and continued her job, this time she wasn't wearing any p@nt. Again, Sam to the disappointment of the other boys shouted "Nkechi, where are your p@nts?"
"You must not see it. I removed it because my mother said i'll get pregnant if any boy sees my p@nt"
"Okay! I see! we won't be looking at your p@nt again. Just get me that guava, the one at the end of the other branch" said Tranquility.

Tranquility, you are a bad boy for saying that last word..

Happy new month to y'all

Dorcmass: The Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu Ekuful extended the SIM re-registration deadline to September 30, she added that SIM cards that are not registered after August will be expensive to use.The Minister even added at the press conference on Sunday, July 31 that such SIM cards would be barred from using services such as voice and data.

It will be reviewed at the end of this month [July] and any SIM that has not been fully registered by the end of August will be barred from certain services including voice and data,” she noted.

She added that “It will also be more expensive to use unregistered SIMs.”

In reaction, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prapram constituency, Samuel Nartey George has argued that the Minister's threat should be ignored.

The lawmaker stated in a tweet with an excerpt of the Minister's speech on Twitter, sighted by Modernghana News indicating that it is simply a failed threat.

“I can RELUCTANTLY & CONFIDENTLY state that the threat that you would pay more for telecoms services after today if you haven't registered your SIM card has fallen flat,” he challenged.

He added, “that said, if you have the opportunity, go and register for your Ghana Card and the SIM card. Cheers.”

Mr. Dorcmass, long time
