Ho Technical University (HTU) has denied a false publication claiming an outbreak of HIV among its students, calling it baseless and entirely false. The university management addressed the issue in response to an online publication, which had been circulating on social media platforms.

In a press statement on June 5, and released by the registrar, Dr. C.K Amehoe, the university noted that both the University Health Service and the Municipal and Regional Health Directorates of the Ghana Health Service had no information or reports regarding an HIV outbreak at HTU. The statement thus, urged the public to disregard the false publication and emphasized that it had the potential to damage the institution’s hard-earned image and reputation.

Furthermore, HTU’s management warned that legal action would be taken against any individual found sharing the false publication, stressing that the University remains a safe and preferred institution among technical universities worldwide.
