UNAIDS confirms rapid increase of HIV/AIDs infections in Uganda
Ms Amakobe Sunde, the UNAIDS country Director has confirmed
the rapid increase of HIV/AIDs infections in Uganda. According Uganda Crazy
Medias, she said that Uganda is losing the fight against HIV/AIDS after the
latest report of 227 new infections among adolescents, 570 new infections among
girls between the ages of 15-24 years and 83,000 new cases annually.
Speaking at a meeting on Tuesday with some committee members
striving so hard to restore Uganda’s pedigree as a leader in the fight against
the deadly infections, Amakobe discredited the new numbers of infections.
‘I am in total disbelieve over the numbers of new
infections, especially of young adolescent girls in Uganda. For a country that
was hosting delegates to come and bench mark on how to tackle HIV/AIDS, your
success is being tainted because of these new infections.’
