National AIDS Control Coast Coordinator Julius Koome said the worrying trend came as a result of unprotected sex.
“The statistics are so worrying. We are finding measures to prevent new infections,” he was quoted by The Standard.
Koome also blamed the new infrastructural projects in the coast and drug abuse as a result of the HIV infections.
