FACTS about AIDS in Oromia
- While the Ethiopian national HIV prevalence rate is estimated to be as high as 3.5% (UNAIDS 2007), a recent government source has put the HIV prevalence rate in Oromia at about 1.5%.
- Lack of government-supported aggressive preventive campaigns against HIV/AIDS in Oromia has been widely reported by many sources, including OLF, and the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office of Oromia has frankly admitted that the lack of "adequate coverage & good quality data" had caused the disease to spread in Oromia.
