Mr. Aleeba expressed worry over the situation which he said the, lifestyle among the people may be the cause of the high rate in the HIV infections but he also said the health directorate is not relenting on their education campaigns to bring the situation under control.

Speaking to some parents who shared their thoughts emphasised the need for parents to instil discipline in their children.

The Chairman of the Ghana National Association of Private School, Mr Tuah Kwarteng lamented that, parents responsibilities have been rendered to nothing when it comes to moral control of their wards leaving their children to be influenced by their peers hence the high rate of the HIV prevalence.

The spread of the HIV/AIDS has no bounds therefore an advice was given by a lady to her colleague youth to adhere to the preventive measures to protect themselves from contracting HIV infections since they cannot run away from it if they failed to protect themselves.
