THE HIV prevalence rate has stagnated at about 6.5% over the last three years, according to the 2005 Uganda AIDS Indicator Survey.

However, there has been a 'subtle' increase in HIV between 2002 and 2005 in nine antenatal clinics around the country, but six have gone down.

.....

The survey said HIVE prevalence rate by religion showed that Muslims were the least infected at 5%, while Protestants were the most infected at 7.1%.

Catholics and other religions were at a rate of 6.3%.

1. Somehow, I bet this won't show up on the 700 Club :-)

2. Stagnates is a very strange term for them to use.

How about "stabilizes" at 6.5%. Stagnate implies the rate should be "better."
