Key intervention programmes in Akwa Ibom’s HIV response continues to take centre stage, as the Government works towards reducing the HIV Prevalence in the state.

The Latest event organized by the Akwa Ibom state Agency for the Control of AIDS, AK-SACA is the sensitization workshop of HIV Key populations, KPs, held in Uyo during the week.

The 3 day workshop was supported by the United Nations population Fund; UNFPA and the Multilateral Donor Agencies, collaborating with AK-SACA to tackle Akwa Ibom’s HIV incidence through increased access to community members of the Key population which include Female Sex Workers.

Project Manager for AK-SACA,Dr ARTHUR IGBEMI in his opening remarks said if HIV spread is not handled within the Key Populations, it would be difficult to tackle HIV amongst the General Population.
