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.’
