HIV/AIDS, the disease is increasing day by day and the mortality rate is also directly proportional to the raise.
To put an end to the increasing number of AIDS/HIV patients United Nations Development Program HIV/AIDS program (UNDP) has appointed 29 HIV/AIDS Counselors.This program was started under the Global Fund for AIDS in Liberia.
The main idea behind this program is to impede the raise in the number of people affected by AIDS/HIV in the country.
This can be done by creating awareness among the people of Liberia. Prior to admission the AIDS/HIV counselors underwent a two week intensive training program which tested their ability to diagnose, evaluate and thereby prevent the spread of this deadly disease among the people of Liberia.
The training was conducted at the White House Compound in Congo Town by the Lutheran Church HIV/AIDS Department.
The AIDS/HIV counselors were give assurance that they will be continually supported by the UNDP Global AIDS Fund financially.
