AIDS Prevention and Control Commission Secretary-General Lam Chong said yesterday that last year saw the highest number of cases when 30 people were diagnosed with HIV since the first case was recorded in 1986, adding that the record number was due to the government’s promotion of HIV testing in recent years.
Lam made the remarks during a press conference at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Nape about a series of activities in the run-up to World AIDS Day organised by the AIDS Prevention and Control Commission, which aims to promote care for AIDS patients and eliminate discrimination against them.
World AIDS Day is marked on December 1.
