The University of Ghana has denounced some statements made by the Founder and President of World Miracle Outreach, Rev. Lawrence Tetteh regarding students of the institution.<\/p>\n
In an interview on GTV\u2019s Breakfast Show, the preacher indicated that there is a high prevalence of HIV infections among students at the University.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of boys and girls in Legon who are HIV positive, you would have the biggest shock of your life. This is sad, this is sad and I\u2019m happy I\u2019m saying this on national TV,” he said on October 24.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of these young boys and young girls already on campus are living promiscuous lives and they have already contracted HIV\/AIDS. These are people I have prayed for… and I\u2019m not talking about 10 years, 5 years,\u201d the pastor added.<\/p>\n
But in a press release dated October 24, 2024, the University labeled Rev. Tetteh\u2019s remarks as \u201cunfounded, insensitive, and disappointing,\u201d noting that his assertions lack any data-backed evidence and risk promoting fear, stigma, and misinformation.<\/p>\n
The University emphasised that HIV status can only be determined through scientific diagnostic methods and not through counselling or prayer.<\/p>\n
