Currently, the HIV prevalence rate among adults in Ghana has stabilised at 1.5 per cent, after declining from 2.7 per cent in 2005, the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) has said.

An estimated 12,077 new infections occurred in 2011, out of which 1,707 were children.

Youth Alive, a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), with support from STAR-Ghana, has initiated a programme to increase access of the youth to reproductive and sexual health delivery in parts of the Upper East and West Regions.
