Sixteen take counselling course

 SIXTEEN women and four men have completed a week-long confidential and counselling testing at the Correctional Services Training College in Bomana. 

HIV/AIDS trainer CS Sgt David Mano said voluntary confidential counselling and testing were offered to people before and after a HIV blood test.

Three medical officers – two from St John’s Clinic in Gordon and one from Bomana prison clinic – were among the trainees.

 “The course is aimed at providing basic skills in counselling and testing of HIV,” he said.
