(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of December 16, the Quy Chau District Medical Center provided HIV/AIDS counseling and testing to Thai ethnic people in Khe My and Minh Chau villages, Chau Hanh commune. This activity aims to help people know how to prevent HIV/AIDS infection for themselves, their families and the community.

According to the assessment of the District HIV/AIDS Prevention Center, the pattern of HIV/AIDS infection in the district is changing. Recently, the number of HIV/AIDS infections in high-risk groups has shown signs of decreasing, but the number of infections in the community has increased significantly.

Up to this point (December 16), Quy Chau District Medical Center has organized mobile communication and free testing consultation for 2,132 subjects in 12 communes and towns. This activity shows that, not only to detect infected people early to help them proactively prevent HIV/AIDS infection to their relatives and the community, but this is also an activity that actively supports the Quy Chau Health Sector in developing a propaganda plan and organizing intervention activities to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS infection in the coming time.
