Luanda
HIV/AIDS transmission rate in Angola drops

Luanda - The director of the National Institute to Fight HIV/AIDS, Dulcelina Serrano, Tuesday in Luanda announced that the HIV/AIDS transmission rate in Angola has shown a significant reduction.

 

Speaking to the press during the "Extraordinary Joint Meeting of Health Ministers and Ministers responsible for combating HIV/AIDS in the SADC region," without advancing figures, Dulcelina Serrano, said that this analysis suggests that the epidemic in the country is stable.

 

According to her, it is due to the expansion of universal access to treatment, increasing the number of sites that monitor and treat people and the publicity campaigns about the disease.

 

On the other hand, she stressed that the reduction of mortality goes beyond the number of people living with the disease, thereby impacting the prevalence of infection.
