In addition, since March this year alone, of the 999 patients that have undergone HIV testing at the PUC, 49 have been confirmed positive.
Masi Mangan Pakyo highlighted this on 3 September during a presentation of HIV support materials by the Porgera Joint Venture (PJV) to the clinic.
“Right now we don’t have HIV medicines but we provide counselling and testing and we give people hope and we do what we can to help,” she said.
