UNAIDS country director Ms Amakobe Sunde, recently confirmed the rapid
increase of HIV/AIDs infections in Uganda. According Uganda's parliament's site, she said that Uganda is losing the fight against HIV/AIDS after
the latest report of 227 new infections among adolescents, 570 new
infections among girls between the ages of 15-24 years and 83, 000 new
cases annually.
During a meeting on Tuesday with some committee members striving so hard to restore Uganda’s pedigree as a leader in the fight against the deadly infections, Amakobe discredited the new numbers of infections.
"I am in total disbelieve over the numbers of new infections, especially
of young adolescent girls in
Uganda. For a country that was hosting
delegates to come and bench mark on how to tackle
HIV/AIDS, your success
is being tainted because of these new infections."
