HIV prevalence rate declines in Asokore-Mampong Municipality
75 per cent in 2025 Statistics released by the Ghana Health Services (GHS) between 2024 and 2025 have shown that the Asokore-Mampong Municipality recorded a decline in the HIV prevalence rate, a development health authorities say could be linked to intensified screening and public education, though challenges such as stigma still remain.
This means that fewer people in the Municipality are being recorded as living with HIV in 2025 compared with the previous year.
Rebecca Abora, the HIV focal person in Asokore-Mampong, who made this known to the Ghana News Agency, said in 2024, the total number of affected persons was 1,517, comprising 449 males, 989 females and 79 children between the ages of 0-14 years.
