It is important for us to know our HIV status.
These are the words of FJN+ President Jokapeci Tuberi who encourages people to get tested adding it not a scary or expensive process.
She added already there are four new cases reported for 2009 bringing the figure of those who have HIV/AIDS to 294 adding this figure shows that while the infection is increasing, people are getting tested.
Tuberi added however to get the real raw figure, 294 must be multiplied by 10 or in a worst case scenario, multiplied by 30 to know exactly how many people have HIV/AIDS.
Tuberi added testing will be on the 27th of June at Sukuna Park in Suav.
The Health Ministry said 62.5 percent of the 294 people who have HIV/AIDS are males while females making up 28.4 percent.
