New HIV cases

Solomonstar, 28 November, 2006 - 12:08pm.
By ROBERT L. IROGA

TWO more people have been confirmed HIV positive as the country’s tally hits eight.However, the Solomon Islands National AIDS Council has warned that people should not be complecent about the statistic because based on estimates it could mean that unofficially there are now 150 cases.

The two new infections were declared by the vice-chairman of SINAC Dr George Malefoasi during a recent meeting.Dr Malefoasi said people shouldn’t see the small numbers and just do nothing.He said in actual fact based on estimates “we could have 150 cases” now.Solomon Islands recorded its first case in 1994, then waited until 2004 when five cases were reported. Since then three have died of AIDS.

SINAC has recently beefed up its activities outlining key strategic results areas (challenges) and its national HIV response aims at achieving:
lReduction of risk-behavior and vulnerability to HIV and STIs
lEnhance voluntary counselling and testing for HIV as an entry point for confidential prevention and treatment services for STIs and AIDS (including ensuring blood safety..
lEnhance HIV/ STI surveillance, Treatment and Care.
lTo enhance capacity building for the national HIV response at both the community and institutional level.
lEnsure sustainable development to enable an environment for behavioural change, de-stigmatization and against discrimination impacting on prevention and care.

SINAC has taken a multi-sectoral approach in its efforts to address the disease with the induction of new members recently.Among SINAC’s next step is to complete, National HIV Operational Plans 2007 (All partners) and National HIV Response Review.
