]]> The Kabarole district HIV/AIDS focal person Mpuga Hosea has called upon the government to add more funds in the AIDS department to reduce on its spread.

Mpuga reveals that the AIDS department in Kabarole district is not fully facilitated to carry out sensitization programs especially among the youths.

He observes that most people in the rural areas are still ignorant about HIV spread, which he says has remained a challenge.

Speaking to journalists in Fort Portal, Mpuga said the trend of rural urban migration is also increasing HIV spread since people go to cities ignorant of HIV spread and easily catch the virus.

He says even when those who are infected return to their home villages, it is easy for them, especially the men to take advantage of young girls in rural areas.

The research carried out by the Uganda network of AIDS Services Organizations indicate that over 3000 people are need of Antiviral drugs but cannot access them.

 

The much needed ARV drugs

The executive director of the Uganda network of AIDS Services Organizations Bharam Namanya says many donors like PEPFAR, the Global Fund and others, who had been providing ARVs, are reducing the assistance because of the current credit crunch.

Namanya notes that due to limited Anti Retroviral drugs a number of people living with HIV are not on treatment reducing their chances of surviving.

He says the little drugs in place cannot easily be accessed due to bureaucracy in ministry of health to access them.

]]> The health situation of people living with HIV/AIDS in Kalangala district is alarming as 8 people in one Sub County of Bujumba have died in the past three weeks due to inaccessibility of anti-retroviral drugs in the district.

The much needed ARV drugs

The Chairman LC5 Daniel Kikola says that the situation has gone out of hand when the NGO that has been supplying free ARVs suspended the service due to reduced funding from their donors.

Kalangala which is an island district in Lake Victoria is said to be having many people infected with HIV because of prostitution and the belief by many fishermen that they don’t need to protect themselves from HIV since they may die anytime on waters while fishing.

Kikola has asked government to consider Kalangala district as a special area that needs attention on matters of health and HIV/AIDS in particular.
