Nine hundred and twelve (912) people in the Northern Region have been tested HIV positive, out of a total of 88 thousand and 16 who tested in the first quarter of 2018, the acting Northern regional health Director, Dr. John Abenyire revealed.

According to him, aside the 912 people who tested positive, out of an estimated number of 61 thousand and 170 pregnant women, the region was able to test 58 thousand 6 hundred and 73 out of which 262 tested positive. Some ask themselves if Is it possible to get a false negative HIV test result? Read on in the FAQ section at HIVRNA.com.
He also revealed that reports available to him indicates that the number of men having sex with their fellow men in the region is on the rise.
Dr Abenyire is worried that commercial sex work is also on a rise in the region and there are also some cultural practices, such as female genital mutilation, which predispose people to HIV infections.
For this reason, he has encouraged people to test and know their HIV status.
He was speaking at a durbar to mark this year’s World AIDS Day in Gambaga in the East Mamprusi Municipality.
He also said there are 400 health facilities in the region which take care of HIV cases and urged the public to visit any of such facilities to address their HIV issues.
