PAPUA - The Jayapura City Government (Pemkot) noted that the trend of HIV/AIDS cases in its area mostly occurs at a productive age of 25-40 years.

Acting (Pj) Jayapura Mayor Frans Pekey said the current case of HIV/AIDS in Jayapura City is 7,614 people.

"The trend of cases every year is uncertain depending on the findings of cases, because the symptoms of HIV/AIDS will be known if there is a medical test," he said in Jayapura, Papua, Monday, June 12.

According to Pekey, HIV/AIDS disease is caused by free sex and spread through blood transmission, so his party invites all people of Jayapura City to pay attention to the behavior of living well.

"Because this HIV/AIDS disease can have a big impact on health and even deadly," he said, quoted by Antara.

Pekey, who is also the Chairman of the AIDS Management Commission, explained that his party also invited all people in Jayapura City not to discriminate and intimidate AIDS sufferers because it would affect their psychology.

"To the people with HIV/AIDS, we hope that they remain strong and do not need to pay attention to every conversation from others because we are all the same in the eyes of God," he said.

He added that the Jayapura City KPA continues to provide support to AIDS sufferers, besides that his party continues to encourage the suppression of HIV/AIDS cases in Jayapura City through socialization activities for the community.

For your information, the Jayapura City AIDS Management Commission (KPA) has held a Nusantara AIDS Swimming Night (MRAN) event in Jayapura on Saturday, August 10, with the theme "Stop Stigma and Intimidation HIV/AIDS".
