The Reverend Isaac K. Gyedu, President of Mankessim-based Universal Christian Mission Association (UCMA), has condemned Ghanaians, especially the youth, who still believe that HIV/AIDS is not real and so they are going ahead with their indiscriminate sexual activities with impunity.
He has cautioned the people to listen to reason and quickly desist from such "destructive attitudes".
Closing a special peer educators' workshop on HIV/AIDS at Abura-Afrangua in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District, Rev. Gyedu told the participants that the nation is spending huge sums of money on the pandemic annually, which otherwise could have been used to construct more school buildings, provide electricity, potable water and clinics to improve lives of the rural people.
Rev. Gyedu said the infection was spreading fast in some communities due to Ghanaians' attitude towards several useful anti-HIV/AIDS educational programmes initiated by the government and numerous nongovernmental organisations (NGOs) to bring the prevalence rate down.
He challenged people, particularly young men and young women who doubt the existence of AIDS, to visit various hospitals to see things for themselves.
They could also contact medical experts and focal persons who had the figures of affected AIDS victims for reliable and accurate information about the number of people infected and those who had died of in recent years.
Rev. Gyedu renewed his appeal to chiefs, family heads, churches and benevolent organizations to intensify their education on the pandemic to save the nation from losing precious lives through AIDS.
He advised participants to carry the message to people in their communities and also to conduct public meetings with the assistance of the chiefs and community leaders to sensitize the inhabitants continuously on the dangers posed by the infection.

Regarding complete cure of HIV I was simply wondering why can't we find some thing useful in this direction. Since HIV and its treatment is an important issue or information we need more specific information on this subject. I have found a nice informative guide on HIV from following URL http://www.helpcure.com/hiv/ .
This guide deals with How To Cure HIV Through herbal medicines and Holistic Treatment. Guide claims that HIV viruses can't be killed but they can be ousted out of the body cells using bio magnetic repulsion or something written. You can verify the guide by downloading that for free. for this site. I dreamt of a HIV free world after reading this guide.
Hope that you will add more free information to the comment boxes to let other people read about this interesting subjects.
God bless you all-
