ZAMBOANGA CITY\u2014 The City Health Office has underscored the need to intensify the conduct of information and education campaign on the prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV-AIDS) in this city.<\/p>\n

Dr. Dulce Amor Dagalea-Miravite, Reproductive Health and Wellness Center (RHWC) head, on Thursday said the RHWC detected an average of eight cases of HIV-AIDS per month from January to October this year.<\/p>\n

Miravite disclosed that as of October, they have recorded 74 cases of HIV-AIDS with five deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cHIV is real, we are living in a world with HIV and AIDS in it. We need to impart knowledge so that they will be aware and they will know how to prevent and protect themselves,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She added that Zamboanga City has already registered 294 HIV cases with 43 deaths from 1995 until October this year.<\/p>\n

Of the total, 272 cases involved males while the remaining 22 were females.<\/p>\n

The age bracket that is most affected is the working group, which is from 25 to 34 years old. They recorded a total of 149 cases.<\/p>\n

Miravite said the working group registered the highest HIV-AIDS cases since they have the time and money to explore.<\/p>\n

Following second is the youth group which is from 15 to 24 years old with 90 cases.<\/p>\n

The other age groups registered the following number of cases: for those less than 15, two cases; 35 to 44, 45 cases; and, 45 to 54, eight cases.<\/p>\n

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. It damages the immune system making it easier for a person to get sick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
