Dr Osborne Quaye
The Head of the Biochemistry Department, University of Ghana, Dr. Osborne Quaye, says although Ghana has not been able to achieve the global HIV/AIDS target of 90-90-90, the progress made so far is still worth celebrating.
The global HIV/AIDS target of 90-90-90 requires that by the end of 2020, 90 per cent of people living with HIV will know their status, while 90 percent of those who know their HIV status to be positive will be on antiretroviral treatment, with 90 per cent of people on antiretroviral treatment having their viral load suppressed to an undetectable level, at which point they become un-transmittable.

Let the people lead if responses to tackle HIV are to be effective
14 Dec 2020
Our communities are willing to lead. It is time to allow those at the forefront of the epidemic to play an active role in working towards an HIV-free world. We have no choice if we want to succeed.
My community has been at the centre of my work all my life. So, it was a great joy to me when the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAids) identified community-led interventions as key to a successful pandemic response.
As a medical doctor I know that health is made in the home and sustained in the community, by community norms. And if it happens in the community, it happens in the nation. If it does not happen in the community, it does not happen at all.
