Sumihar assessed that this figure had increased when compared to cases in the previous year. It is known that in 2021, said Sumihar, his party recorded as many as 414 cases with 264 HIV cases and 150 AIDS cases.

"414 cases with 264 HIV cases and 150 AIDS cases. It's just that last year there was a COVID-19 pandemic, there were restrictions on activities so that the search for AIDS HIV cases did not run optimally," he said.
