🗣 December 1st , 2022 will mark the 34th Aniversary of the Commemoration of the World AIDS Day Globally since it was first observed in 1988.

This day (December 1st) was seen as an opportunity for everyone around the world 🌎 to come together in the fight against HIV and stand in solidarity to support those suffering from HIV as well as those who lost their loved ones to this illness.

For Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 , the first HIV/AIDS case was detected in 1987 at Port Moresby General Hospital. Since then alot has happened up to this day 2022.

This dreadful disease has potentially undermine the socio-economic progress of the country thus eroding the very fabric of PNG societies.

Although the country has progressed interms of improved health service delivery outcomes, alot of people continue to face challenges in accessing basic HIV services. People Living with HIV, members of Key Populations (FSW, MSW,MSM,TG) and other vulnerable & marginalized groups continue to suffer from stigma and being discriminated.

Adolescent girls including young women and their male partners lack basic knowledge on S*xual Reproductive Health Rights including other enabling policies for social protection. Young population age groups especially young women and girls have to be empowered to achieve equity, justice, and equality in every aspects of life whether it be social, politics and economic.

The call for national and political leadership is needed at all fronts to drive policies and other enabling globally accepted Combination HIV Prevention interventions at focused groups.

Programs for HIV Pregnant mothers and their infants should be given higher prominence given the fact that the vertical transmission rate is now at 0.30 per cent. This means that out of 10 HIV pregnant mothers giving birth, it is unlikely that 3 babies will be born positive HIV+.

Partnership between Church run institutions and service delivery organizations is important in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲

The National AIDS Council Secretariat today launched the 2022 National and World AIDS Day theme.

The international theme is “𝗘̈𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘”and the national one is:
𝟭. 𝗣𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆; 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗼 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱(𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵)
𝟮. 𝗬𝘂𝗺𝗶 𝗢𝗹𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗮𝗶𝗻; 𝗡𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗺 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻(𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻)
𝟯. 𝗜𝘁𝗮 𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗧𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝗶(𝗠𝗼𝘁𝘂)

In announcing the theme Acting Director of the National AIDS Council Secretariat Mr. Tony Lupiwa said the theme focuses on addressing inequalities in accessing HIV Treatment and Prevention services, legal and other vital services which are still regarded as impediments to the progress in ending the AIDS pandemic.

“We want to see our People Living with HIV, our key population like transgender people, Men with S*xual Diversity, the S*x Workers, and other marginalized population walk into a health facility to access HIV Treatment and Prevention Services or to a Police Station without being harassed or stigmatized,” Mr. Lupiwa added.

Mr. Lupiwa stressed that the slogan “Equalize” complimented with the national theme “calls for the following actions to be done:
• Increase availability, quality and suitability of services for HIV Testing, Treatment, and Prevention so everyone is ell-served.
• Reform laws, policies and practices to tackle the stigma and exclusion faced by people living with HIV, the key populations and marginalized populations so everyone is respected and well-come
•Ensure the sharing of technology to enable equal access to the best HIV Science between communities and between the Global South and North.
Communities will be able to make use of and adapt the Equalize message to highlight the particular inequalities they face and press for actions needed to address them.

He said regardless of who they or their status, PLHIVs, Key Populations and other marginalized groups have the same equal rights as everyone else therefore should access these services without fear or being stigmatized.

“These are our high risks groups that we need to protect. But if we deny their rights to these services, we will continue to see our statistics going up.” Mr. Lupiwa added,

The latest statistics shows there are about 9 people infected with HIV each day, 2-3 deaths recorded in a day, 3400 news HIV infections in a year and an estimate of 58 000 People Living with HIV.

“We can do more if we address these inequalities then this will help us to join the world end the AIDS pandemic by 2030.’’the Acting Director stated.

In the meantime, to show support in commemorating the 2022 WAD, the National AIDS Council Secretariat is urging all government agencies, the private sector, provinces and districts, all stakeholders and partners to organize and support their own WAD programs.

Furthermore, the tradition to “Wear Red “on World AIDS Day still stands. Wearing Red signifies continuous awareness on HIV and AID. It symbolizes ones support for People Affected by HIV and AIDS. Individuals are encouraged to wear red be it a red ribbon, shirt, cap etc while organisations can put up red ribbon on their offices to show their support for the awareness.
