The long HIV infected victim list is unfortunately increasing, as four more men were found infected by the AIDS virus. The tragic data was announced by departing Minister of Health Andreas Loverdos during a TV show.
The most disturbing thing is that these men are either married with children or have a long-lasting relationship. These men contacted KEELPNO after seeing the prostitutes’ photos that were all over the news, and went to KEELPNO facilities to be tested for HIV.
The investigation is continuing in Athens brothels, while dozens of people visit KEELPNO to be examined for HIV on a daily basis. 200 men have been tested during the last three weeks.
The real number is expected to be much higher, as many of the prostitutes’ clients chose to visit state hospitals or private clinics instead of KEELPNO.
Medical labs don’t have the necessary time to conduct all the tests, so people have to wait a little bit more than usual to get their results. KEELPNO experts believe that HIV cases will increase.
KEELPNO has received 8,000 calls so far from terrified men who wish to determine if they were infected, and most importantly if they exposed their families to the deadly risk.
