The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) raised concern over the rising cases of new HIV infections among adolescents aged below 24 years.
Data from the council shows that out of the 427 new infections that are recorded in the country every week, 62 occur among adolescents aged 10 to 19 years.
The country records 61 new HIV infections every day.
The same age group records 23 HIV deaths every week.
