Ubu buyobozi buvuga ko icyo bubifuriza ari ukugira ubuzima buzira ubwandu.

Umujyi wa Rubavu ni umwe mu mijyi usangamo urujya n’uruza rw’abantu baturutse hirya no hino ndetse harimo n’abo mu bihugu bituranye n’u Rwanda, ni na hamwe kandi mu mijyi usanga harimo abakora uburaya batari bake.

Gusa, ngo amahirwe yo kuba hari amashyirahamwe babarizwamo bituma boroherwa no kubona ubukangurambaga bahabwa n’ababishinzwe bujyanye no kwirinda  harimo guhabwa udukingirizo ku buntu ndetse n’imiti bahabwa ifasha abatarandura kutandura agakoko gatera SIDA yitwa Pre-exposure Prevention (PREP) bahererwa ubuntu ku bigo nderabuzima ndetse no ku bitaro bikuru bya Gisenyi .

Gusa, kuko  badukanguriye kwishyira mu mashyirahamwe nagize n’amahirwe yo kuhamenyera amakuru menshi yo kwirindo kwandura agakoko gatera SIDA, kuko tugira abakangurambaga baturutse ku bigo nderabuzima ndetse no ku bitaro bikuru bya Gisenyi; bagira igihe bakaza kudusura mu mashyirahamwe turimo bakadukangurira kuva mu buraya, ariko nanone abakiburimo banadukangurira uburyo bwo kwirinda kwandura harimo gukoresha agakingirizo ndetse n’indi miti baduha iturinda kwandura igihe twaba tudakoresheje agakingirizo kandi byose banabiduhera ubuntu.”

Nubwo ariko hari bamwe babyumvise ko bagomba kurinda ubuzima bwabo, hari n’abo twaganiriye bumva ko ntacyo bibabwiye, gusa ngo nta mashyirahamwe babarizwamo banze kuyajyamo.

Mu karere ka Rubavu kugeza ubu hari amashyirahamwe y’indangamirwa agera kuri 56, agizwe n’abagore 3 620. Muri aba, adafite ubwandu bemeye kwitabira gukoresha  ubu buryo bwa PREP mu 2022 bari 214, naho mu 2023 bakaba barageze kuri 412.  Aba bakora kandi uyu mwuga w’uburaya bashishikarizwa cyane kuba bava muri ubwo buzima bagashaka indi mirimo myiza bakora kandi irinda ubuzima bwabo.
