Due to the increase in the number of patients with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), syphilis and hepatitis B, the Huamanga Health Network, through the Health Brigade, carried out a recycling campaign at the facilities of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the National University of San Cristobal de Juamanga.
This event was attended by Alexa Romany Cuellar, promoter of the Oumanga Health Network, who spoke about the importance of this type of preventive diagnosis for health care.
He said that the LGBT population is more susceptible to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. That’s why he’s been running prevention campaigns with Huamanga Health Network since March.
By the start of the campaign, they were in the Department of Social Sciences, pursuing professional careers in communication sciences, anthropology, archeology, and social work. However, after agreeing with Unsh, they hope to run these campaigns in all departments of the university soon.
On the other hand, it has suggested to the general population that these preventive emissions be carried out in the health facilities closest to their homes. In the province of Huamanga, the three medical teams responsible for canceling these tests intervened.
