The Executive Secretary of ENSACA, Dr Uche Agu, made the disclosure to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Friday.

He said that the agency had 22 major centres in health facilities in the state where it engaged the people.

According to him, the HIV/AIDS prevalence in the state stands at 4.9 per cent of the entire population.

The executive secretary said that the agency had adopted the Test and Treat Modal strategy to sustain the fight against HIV/AIDS.
