The World Health Organisation (WHO) says though the HIV epidemic in Africa isn’t raging as fiercely as before, transmission is still prevalent.
According to the global body, the continent’s HIV-positive population increased from 15.6 million in 2005 to 24.3 million in 2021, accounting for 3.4 per cent of the total population.
The WHO Regional Director for Africa, Matshidiso Moeti, disclosed this in his message on Sunday to commemorate the 2024 World Health Day, which is themed My Health, My Right.
