The youth in the western region have been urged to embrace the ABC strategy in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Speaking during public lecture on development and prevention of disease at Mountains of the Moon main campus at Saaka yesterday, the university chancellor professor Edward Rugumayo disclosed that the chances of curing HIV/AIDs are limited.

A renowned senior researcher Ms. Joy Folkvord from Colorado university in the US revealed that a large number of people who have not bothered to establish their HIV status continue to engage themselves in risky behaviours.

Prof. Rugumayo challenged some societies who still believe that HIV is a myth and not a reality to face up to the challenge of HIV/AIDS.

He said that many people in the world have lowered their interests in controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS.
