There are more people infected with HIV in Papua New Guinea than those infected with COVID 19. There are 52,000 people infected in this country and 9 infected every day.
The Country Director of UNAIDS David Bridger writes in The National of the importance of shared responsibility. It is sad to read of HIV infected people who are kicked out of their families. Let us hope they are in a minority.
There should be more advice given out to the community including the problems with default with ART, PEP treatment for girls within 72 hours after rape and the dangers of smoking and boozing while on ART medication.
Some of the most obvious advice never hits the media.
