However, no synthesized evidence exists on the mental health burden of females living with HIV/AIDS (FLWHA) in Afric…

Achieving the Unaids 95-95-95 treatment target by 2025 in Ghana
The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has set ambitious treatment targets known as Project 95-95-95, aiming to achieve 95% of people living with HIV knowing their status, 95% of diagnosed individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 95% of those on ART achieving viral suppression by 2025. Through a comprehensive analysis of Ghana's HIV/AIDS response, we evaluate the feasibility of Ghana's efforts in realising these targets. …
