The Deputy Ashanti Regional Focal Person on HIV/AIDs, Dennis Bandoh, has advised men to take the HIV tests as is being done by women.
He said one of the greatest challenges facing the Ghana Health Service (GHS) in the fight to help reduce the HIV transmission rate in Ghana was the inability to get more men to test for their HIV status.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency, Bandoh pointed out that the active involvement of men was crucial in reducing the spread of the virus in communities.
He said testing positive for HIV and being on a lifetime treatment was like being on a BP medication for life.
