The Christian Council of Ghana has called on all citizens to join hands to reignite efforts to combat HIV/AIDS.

The Council emphasised that the disease remained a serious threat despite decades of progress.

The Council also called for compassion, unity, and the elimination of stigma in addressing the epidemic, adding: “We should not be naïve to think that AIDS was deadly in the past and not now.”

The Council made the call in a statement to the Ghana News Agency, signed by its General Secretary, Reverend Dr Cyril G K Fayose.

It joined the global community to commemorate World AIDS Day 2025 on the theme: “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response.”

The Council also called for intensified awareness campaigns, particularly among youth and health workers, to ensure adherence to preventive protocols.

The Christian Council reiterated its advocacy for chastity, moral uprightness, and faithfulness in sexual relationships as proven measures to curb the spread of HIV.

It also encouraged prayer for individuals living with the disease and urged member churches, Local Councils of Churches, and interfaith partners to leverage their networks to support affected persons, enabling them to live healthy and productive lives.

World AIDS Day, observed annually on December 1, serves as a global reminder of the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS and the importance of solidarity in achieving an AIDS-free generation.
