The Nnaabagereka of Buganda, Lady Sylvia Nagginda, has called for universal HIV/Aids counseling and testing to enable the country check the escalating new infections.
Lady Nagginda said people's ignorance about their HIV status was greatly contributing to the increasing cases of new infections. "I was told that about 80 percent of Ugandans don't know their HIV status," the Nnaabagereka said while touring Mildmay Centre last Thursday. "This is dangerous to our nation."
In 2005, about 132,000 infections occurred in Uganda. An estimated 25,000 children in Uganda are born with HIV annually. Results from the 2005 Uganda HIV/Aids Sero-Behavioural Survey (UHSBS) show that 79 per cent of HIV-positive Ugandans do not know their HIV sero-status .
Some of the contributing factors include stigma, poverty, insecurity, limited access to counseling and testing services and lack of information. This is more common in rural areas and special groups such as, the poor, IDPs, uniformed services, prisoners and hard-to-reach populations like fishermen.
There are currently 1.1 million people living with HIV /Aids of whom 110,000 are children. Mildmay Uganda is an HIV/Aids treatment and training centre supporting over 100,000 people living with HIV/Aids of whom 28 per cent are children below 18.
She said Ugandans should take advantage of routine HIV counseling and testing services being provided by the government and the private sector if they are to get rid of the scourge.

I am quite sure " HIV " is caused by ultraviolet radiation and its interaction with local radiation. The different HIV strains are caused by the differences of local radiations. HIV in Africa, because Africa received much more ultraviolet radiation from the sun than the other place in the world. HIV in relation to free sex, the participants make their bodies to absorb ultraviolet radiation and the other radiation. I am quite sure, the best way AIDS treatment is to terminated ultraviolet radiation. That is, for AIDS treatment we need Free Radiation treatment Room ( FRR ). Its not necessary to do chemotherapy, just high-nutrient food from natural substances. The suggested menu is roast beef from a fat young cow. Please do it.
