Dismus Buregyeya
On the mutukula border town, HIV/AIDS prevalence rate was recorded at 30%, Lyantonde, 28%, Kyotera, 24% and kas-ensero, 36%.
The records were disclosed by the Rakai Network of Aids Service Organisations chairman, Richard Amanya, at a press conference on Monday.
Amanya said no effective intervention has been made to address the high rates.
He blamed the problem on the government, saying most of the work has been left to community based organisations.
Amanya said the statistics were recorded in the 2004/5 nation sero survey.
