Prof. Victor Wutor urges Ghana to invest heavily in long-acting HIV prevention drugs

Clinical Professor Victor Wutor is urging the Government of Ghana to invest heavily in long-acting HIV prevention injections (PrEP) following the Ghana AIDS Commission’s 2025 report, which recorded 13,951 new HIV infections and highlighted the need for targeted education campaigns for vulnerable groups.

His comments come after the Ghana AIDS Commission released its 2025 National HIV Estimates and Projections, which showed that 13,951 people were newly infected with HIV in 2025.

While the Commission said the falling infection and mortality rates suggest that Ghana’s HIV response is yielding results, it cautioned that stronger interventions will be required for the country to meet the global goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
