Kwahu Easter festival is a hotspot for HIV transmission – AIDS Commission

“Events such as the Kwahu Easter festival is a hot spot for HIV transmission and so the commission collaborated with the Ministry of Tourism and we have since been running HIV programmes since Kwahu Easter every year.”

The Director-General mentioned that the Commission, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, provides services and support to individuals travelling to Kwahu for the Easter festivities.

“So every year, we set up screening and condom distribution centres in all the three districts within the Kwahu enclave, and at these centres we provide counselling and testing for HIV and other diseases and we also give out free condoms so that those who have romance on their minds should also think of protection,” he said.
