HIV/AIDS fight pays dividends :: Mmegi Online

Botswana’s efforts to fight HIV and AIDS have paid off as the country achieved the UNAIDS 95-95-95 target. However, despite all this, the country has not succeeded in reducing HIV incidence though scaling up prevention programmes.

Therefore, the National AIDS & Health Promotion Agency (NAHPA) in collaboration with UNAIDS, other UN family and the Ministry of Health (MoH) will host an HIV Prevention Symposium 2023 at Majestic Five Hotel in Palapye from May 3-5 to address critical issues.

When addressing the media in Gaborone recently, chief information, education and communication (IEC) and advocacy division officer at NAHPA, Elizabeth Koko said the key objectives of the symposium were to consolidate and intensify high-level leadership and action for combination HIV prevention. The other objectives include review and document successes, challenges, lessons learnt and best practices in the implementation of the five pillars of combination HIV prevention.
