hiv prevalence is highest in the eastern region of ghana and lowest in the northern regions of the country. prevalence is generally higher in urban areas, in mining and border towns, and along main transportation routes. hiv-1 accounts for 92% of hiv cases in ghana; another 7.4% of reported hiv cases are dual infections with hiv-1 and hiv-2. only 0.5% of hiv cases were exclusively hiv-2. heterosexual intercourse is the mode of transmission for about 80% of hiv cases, with mother-to-child transmission accounting for another 15%. according to the 2003 demographic and health survey, hiv prevalence is very low among most younger age groups, as relatively few are infected during their youth (with the exceptions of infants infected through their mothers). the infection peaks late, compared to other countries, at 35–39 years for women and 40–45 years for men. the infection levels are highest in middle income and middle educational groups, with the poor and unemployed less affected. with 1.47% being ghana's adult prevalence rate it is the 34th country with the highest rate out of 196 countries in the world with swaziland having the highest rate. that means that ghana has a pretty good chance of not getting rid of hiv/aids from the whole country. maybe they would be able to get rid of hiv/aids but at least not all of it because it does not tell us the children's prevalence rate.
