Ghana urged to intensify HIV awareness campaign
Mrs Oppong identified stigma associated with HIV as another factor contributing to the spread of the disease, saying intensified public education would help reduce discrimination against people living with HIV.
Mrs Aba Oppong, Executive Director of Rights and Responsibilities Initiatives Ghana (RRIG), has called for intensified public awareness campaigns on HIV to prevent the disease from affecting the country’s productive population.
