The Ghana AIDS Commission has attributed the increasing rate of HIV/AIDS in the country nonchalant attitude of some Ghanaians to the disease.

It should be recalled that in August of this year, the Commission announced that over 20,000 people in Ghana tested positive for HIV in the first half of this year (January to June).

According to the commission, some think that HIV is no longer a public health threat, while others think it doesn’t exist anymore; hence people continue to take risks that expose them to the disease.

Here is the Director-General of the Ghana AIDS Commission, Dr. Kyeremeh Atuahene.
