3,900 Children Registered as HIV-Positive in Country, National Assembly Informed
Published
The National Assembly was told on Friday that 3,900 children across the country have been registered as HIV-positive. The information was presented in the House and drew the attention of members of the assembly to the issue.
HIV is a virus that weakens the human immune system. If not treated in time, the disease can become serious. According to experts, the virus spreads among children mostly through transmission from mother to child. For this reason, timely testing and treatment of pregnant women is considered very important.
According to reports, the government has stressed the need to further improve HIV prevention and treatment programmes. Providing medicines, counselling and care facilities to affected children is also an important part of this effort.
The situation has once again highlighted the importance of the public health system and awareness campaigns. More details on the matter are expected to emerge in the coming days.
