HIV, 75 new cases in Albania

But doctors say that the number could be even bigger, since there are cases that have not been identified. They confirm that the risk is present, since SDT diseases are increased, even Syphilis and Chlamydia.  

“There’s a growing trend, although we’re a country with a relative prevalence. Albania has the greatest level of increased cases that have been reported and diagnosed. In most of the cases they have been diagnosed in advanced phases, which means that there is a low level of testing, not only voluntarily but also during general tests through the health institutions that offer this service”, declared dr.Arjan Haxhi.

On the international day against AIDS, doctors ask for medicaments that can treat the patients and procedures that guarantee a testing on time, since in many cases that virus was in an advanced phase. They demand a special importance to the test of mothers, in order to prevent transmitting the virus to their children.

The number of infected patients in Albania is around 550, and only during this year, eight people have died. In developed countries, patients with HIV/AIDS received a regular treatment and enjoy full health.
