The Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) is advocating a legislation to punish people who deliberately spread the HIV virus.
Reports say people get affected by the virus through another person’s premeditated action.
Affected persons who have their conditions alleviated by antiretroviral drugs are said to deliberately spread the virus to unsuspecting persons by having unprotected sex with them.
Some even go to radio stations to boast of their escapade, thus causing panic in those who have engaged in, most often, unprotected sex with them.
But this, the Dr Angela El-Adas, Director General of the Ghana AIDS Commission, says is unacceptable and must be stopped through an enabling legislation.
She told Luv News’ Elton John Brobbey the Commission is making proposals to the Constitutional Review Commission to that effect.
This, she believes, will regulate the activities of persons living with the HIV/AIDS to check the spread of the disease without infringing on their human rights.
