I GAT HOP OPENS A WEBSITE

Post Courier 18 June 2018

There is a media report that this care group has opened a media website to show the work of I Gat Hop and communicate concerns.

Program manager Alfred Marks said the focus will be on advocacy and lobbying rights for PLHIV people on discrimination and lack of accessibility.

The website will be monitored by AIDS Holistics to make sure that the message is not anti-family, anti-faith, anti-parents and focused on the rights of children without responsibilities and all blame on parents.

In the Past, I Gat Hop has made a practice of blaming families for all problems of the people suffering from HIV/AIDS and the LGBT people. That has to stop on this new website. That is baby talk.

We remind management of the official paradigm shift to the responsibilities of men and boys in loving families including LGBT young people.

We remind I Gat Hop of the move in the Department for Community Development to work with the churches.

AIDS Holistics will post appraisals of the reports on this new website.

There has always been fake news put out that sex work and same sex relationships have to be legalized as these people are afraid of going to care groups for treatment and being arrested by police. This is completely false.

There is now an error in the name of people PLWHIV. This presumes that these people will never advance to AIDS as they are on antiretroviral drugs. 

But over 50% of PNG people infected with HIV are not on drug treatment which means that they will go on to AIDS. They are PLWHA. They will suffer weight loss, memory loss, dementia and death.
