The National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) has expressed concern over the rising number of HIV infections in Ghana, with recent statistics indicating an unusually high rate among the population, such as female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and transgender women.
Ms. Adonadga emphasised that HIV is still common across all demographic groups and warned that the numbers indicate a larger national problem rather than just isolated populations.
“These statistics show that Ghana is facing a generalised epidemic. HIV is present among children, adolescents, and adults, wherever you go,” she said.
She advocated for increased testing and counseling services, strengthened preventative measures, and sustain ongoing public education, especially for high-risk groups in order to stop the spread of the virus and lower the number of new infections across the country.
