The good news:
New HIV infections in Ghana fell by about 14% between 2024 and 2025. Testing, treatment, and prevention are working, and every young person who gets tested helps keep them going.
Two conditions. One simple step: get tested.
HIV is manageable. Knowing early changes everything.
Treatment is available at ART centres across Ghana. WHO confirms that people on treatment with an undetectable viral load have zero risk of passing HIV to sexual partners and can expect a normal life span.
Kits at ART centres and pharmacies, with a post-test support line.
Protection before exposure, or within 72 hours after.
Undetectable = untransmittable. Zero risk
What's true, and what's just talk
Hepatitis B is silent and preventable.
Most people feel nothing when first infected, and worldwide, only about 1 in 4 people with Hepatitis B know it. A quick test tells you where you stand, and the vaccine gives nearly 100% protection.
Three doses at 0, 1 and 6 months. Protection for 20+ years.
Oral medicines protect your liver and long-term health.
Protect your baby from birth.
