Assabah: Vigilance, efficient arm to fight AIDS, activist
Morocco, Health, 6/15/2005
The number of HIV positives in Morocco is low in comparison to other countries, but vigilance is a must, warned the chairwoman of the Moroccan Association to Fight Aids (ALCS).
Hakima Himmich said in an interview published Tuesday in the Arabic speaking Moroccan daily "Assabah" although only 1587 cases are numbered of AIDS-suffering people in Morocco, which is low in comparison to some sub-Saharan countries, where the disease affects 3 millions and kills another 2 millions, it is a necessity to be vigilant as the disease may progress rapidly in the future.
Himmich said Casablanca and Agadir (Southwest) are the cities that are most stricken by the disease.
Recent figures showed that the number of HIV positives in Morocco is estimated between 13,000 to 16,000.
