LHOKSEUMAWE – A total of 16 people affected by AIDS in the city of Lhokseumawe are reported to have died. Of these, two of them occurred in 2018. While the total number of HIV / AIDS cases found in Lhokseumawe now reaches 59 cases.
Disease Prevention, P2P Lhokseumawe Health Office, Dr. Helizar, said yesterday the death of AIDS patients in Lhokseumawe began to be discovered in 2005 and now reaches 16 people. "Two of them are dead this year," he said.
It is said that HIV in 2018 has reached nine cases. The majority's conclusions are in place of voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in Lhokseumawe. According to Helizar, now people who check themselves to get HIV / AIDS from VCT to Lhokseumawe are continuing to voluntarily increase. The VCT in the Lhokseumawe area, he said, is located at the Muara Dua Community Health Center, Muara Satu Health Center and Kesrem Hospital. "We continue to appeal to people who think they have done something vulnerable to the deadly disease, such as injecting drugs, having bad not only with his wife or husband, but also immediately CTV: If the results of the examination are positive, the identity of the patient should be kept secret, "he said.
Added, the early inspection is very good. Because, if they are declared positive and always at the level of HIV, they can be treated directly, for example by counseling and taking medication regularly. The move, he argues, will be able to suppress the virus rate and maintain endurance. (bah)
