Merauke reports HIV/AIDS progress

The Merauke AIDS Prevention Commission (KPA) is successfully tackling HIV/AIDS in the region, according to an official. 

'€œInfected individuals have gained access to antiretroviral [ARV] drugs periodically,'€ Constant Karma of Merauke KPA in Papua province said on Thursday as quoted by Antara news agency.

He said thanks to continuous campaigning, people with HIV/AIDS could live better quality lives as they were taking prescribed medicine. 

However, he also warned HIV patients about the importance of consuming ARV drugs properly to avoid the risk of diseases like tuberculosis. (yln/dic)
