The Omaheke Region to date has 3800 HIV-positive people. 

Speaking during a Regional Aids Coordinating Committee workshop at Gobabis, the Regional HIV Clinical Mentor, Dr Francois Lumbala, says through coordination and stakeholders' engagement, the region can greatly reduce HIV/AIDS among communities.

He adds that the aim of this campaign is to reach a zero HIV infection status among communities in a few years' time.

77% of people with HIV in the region are on treatment. However, those in rural areas need the timely provision of medications the most.

The two-day workshop is expected to come up with some key recommendations to address challenges faced in all sectors.
