<p>The National Aids Commission has launched a campaign called Know Your Status in three counties. The campaign is intended to increasing the level of HIV testing for young people in Montserrado, Margibi and Grand Bassa where there is high number of cases for the virus.</p>

<p>Mr. Lincoln Reeves said they have already trained a group of young people in these areas and would be working with them during the campaign as they are targeting two hundred eighty six thousand persons for the campaign. He said the response is encouraging but disclosed that having adequate testing tubes is now a challenge. He said stigmatization and discrimination is still a challenge.</p>
