\"\"<\/a>Mr Charles Kwadwo Oppong, Programme Manager of the Ghana Network of People Living with HIV\/AIDS (NAP+GHANA), has said that the two main obstacles in the effort to reduce HIV and AIDS in Ghana were stigma and discrimination.<\/p>\n

He said in order to overcome those challenges there was the need for a more vigorous policy to protect persons living with the disease from being stigmatized and discriminated.<\/p>\n

Mr Oppong said this when speaking at a day\u2019s sensitization forum on Sexual Reproductive Health for HIV positive women in Koforidua.<\/p>\n

The forum, which is aimed at promoting the sexual and reproductive health rights of HIV positive women in Ghana was organized by NAP+GHANA, the Ghana AIDS Commission and funded by DANIDA.<\/p>\n

Mr Oppong said the primary aim of NAP+GHANA was to support HIV positive women in sexual and reproductive health education and to help reduce the prevalent rate and new infections.<\/p>\n

The Eastern Regional focal person on HIV\/AIDS, Ms Golda Asante, reminded the participants that people living with HIV\/AIDS were not different from people without the disease so they should not be intimidated.<\/p>\n

She said the Eastern Region had the highest prevalence rate of 4.2 percent of the 2010 Sentinel Survey saying that was a worrying development and urged all stakeholders to join forces to intensify the campaign.<\/p>\n

Ms Rose Nani, an HIV\/AIDS Counsellor at the Koforidua Central Hospital, urged HIV\/AIDS patients to regularly take their drugs and not to be disturbed about their predicament.<\/p>\n
