THE HIV prevalence rate in Arua district has dropped to a record 2.5%, the district vice-chairman, Camilo Sabo, has said.
While delivering a keynote briefing to US ambassador Steven Browning on Monday, Camilo said the figure was derived from the National Sero Surveillance survey conducted by the Uganda Aids Commission recently.
He said US-funded programmes had created widespread awareness on the dangers and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
