Lives have been saved, HIV Counseling and Treatment has been continuously improving as the number of people who access it has increased over the past years, those receiving care and support and the level of HIV and AIDS awareness to the general population is augmented day by day. Despite these remarkable strides, achieving an HIV free society in this region still remains far from the grip of our hands. Everyday a number of children and adults are newly infected with HIV. A number of people default from AIDS treatments, poverty is compromising HIV and AIDS intervention. The situation will be worse if USAID and other current donors halt to support current HIV projects. However, I strongly feel that it is high time for the governments of this region took up the responsibility of efficiently and effectively funding HIV and AIDS programs. Let people learn to depend on themselves! <br /><br />PeterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873456152717600361noreply@blogger.com
