Murat Mehmeti, an infectionlogist at the KKUK Infectious Clinic, has said that during 2021, eight new HIV cases have been identified in Kosovo AIDS.
Mehmet said in “D KTV's ESUE” that Kosovo is identified as a country with low HIV prevalesce.
“AIDS in Kosovo has not told me it is widespread. From 1986 to the first case identified in Kosovo so far, according to statistics by the National Institute of Public Health (IKSHPK) in all are in evidence 139 cases, while this year, eight new cases have been identified. Kosovo is identified as a country with low HIV prevales. These cases we have under our supervision continue to treat in the best possible way”, Mehmeti said.
According to him, the Infectious Clinic is available with enough therapy to treat HIV, which is free.
“At the Infectious Clinic before the pandemic we have had and continue to have the Centre for Counseling and Volunteer Test, which was performed free of charge, a rapid test that has yielded results but less than 1015 minutes. During the pandemic, the process of testing suspected persons has been terminated, and now that we have a more relaxed state of pandemic, this centre is expected to function, Mehmeti said.
December 1 Is the World Day Against HIV/ AIDS. Set in 1988, the World Day against AIDS is an opportunity to commemorate people who have lost their lives to this disease. It is also an opportunity for the world to assess the current efforts to help people affected by the HIV virus, which causes AIDS and to re-angage in the fight to prevent further spread of this virus.
