she was never been infected with the virus<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, despite parading herself as a carrier for several years. This revelation has outraged many Ghanaians.<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”C9TmvyKeVUxOTNsr4uxYc8ycToqqvY6N”]The Acting Manager of the National Aids Control programme, Dr Steven Ayisi Addo speaking at an HIV-AIDS Prevalence Research Dissemination meeting in Accra, downplayed the act especially the negative effect it will have on the programme.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it will have a certain impact in the overall HIV issue because perhaps it will let the public think that some people are out to defraud them using the status,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the GHS and the National Aids Control programme would continue their fight against the stigmatization of HIV patient\u2019s adding, \u201cas a service, we work with many persons living with HIV in various trainings and capacity building. We make sure that in the process they do not suffer stigma and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n
He encouraged Ghanains to have faith in GHS and continue to promote the fight<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us at the National Aids control programme and the Ghana Health service all the persons living with HIV are ambassadors and these people had been engaged by AIDS commission to do specific things,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
