Coordinator of KPA`s Working Group for Bali Prof Mangku Karmaya made the statement on the sidelines of an AIDS campaign: "Bankers Go Surf, Stop AIDS."
"But this figure could be reduced if all people are willing to take active part in preventing the infection of the disease to the succeeding generations," he said.
He said that one of the way how to prevent the infection of the disease was to promote the prevention program of Preventing Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) among expecting mothers.
The program is aimed at providing awareness for expecting mothers who have high risk husbands so that they will conduct voluntary counseling and testing (VCT).
"The VCT program could be done in all public hospitals in Bali. All tests are free of charge," Mangku Karmaya said.(*)
