People living with HIV/AIDS in Ruhango district have been asked to form associations so that it becomes easy to get help. 

The coordinator of CDLS (HIV/AIDS control committee) in Ruhango district, Marcel Kambanda discloses that the government plans to help HIV/AIDS patients but through cooperatives and associations.

“Our purpose is to help infected persons but we do after they form associations,” Kambanda notes.
