Co-Chairperson of SANAC, Steve Letsike spoke at the launch of the UNAIDS report on the state of women ahead of International Women’s Day on Sunday.
Four decades into the global HIV epidemic, Aids-related diseases remain the highest contribution to deaths among women. Martha Clara from the Ugandan Network of Young People Living with HIV/AIDS says HIV has been prevalent among women because of injustice. “For years the face of HIV has been pinned on the face of a woman and it still is. This is due to injustice. I found out I was HIV positive at 14, but had it all my life. My father as a single parent didn’t let me access healthcare.”
One of the most critical focuses has been on the reduction of new infections, specifically in young women. While the numbers among young girls are dropping, it’s still unacceptably high.“Five years ago we were reporting that we had 2500 new infections among young girls per week in SA, but right now we are reporting 1200 new infections per week.
Why
It's a lie
Too soon wait until they cum trough.
Good news moss 👏👏👏
