Do you think this is shocking or were you expecting it?
The Director-General of the Cross River State Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS (SACA), Mrs. Irene Aniyom, said that 56,350 persons are currently living with the HIV virus in the state.
Aniyom made the disclosure in a chat with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Calabar.
``Today in the state, we have 56,350 people living with the virus; we have to update it on a regular basis since 2005,'' she said.
According to her, the infected persons are receiving anti-retroviral drugs at different centres in the state.
She said that SACA had formed a group known as ``Cross River Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS,’’ to monitor the infected persons. READ MORE HERE:http://successsecrets01..com/2012/08/56350-people-living-with-hiv-in-cross.html

That figure is not a true reflection of the state of HIV in the state because millions of people are living with the virus and till now they have not gone for testing. The figure was generated from the data of people who have gone for voluntary testing and have been declared positive hence receiving treatment.

*Many people prefer to be ignorant of their status even the elite for so many reasons.
