Communities must play a role in creating HIV/Aids awareness, says National Aids Convention of SA
CAPE TOWN - Despite several sexual health and HIV awareness educational campaigns launched by the department of basic education, every week 1 300 young women are infected with HIV.
“Covid-19 has exhausted many government resources and is at the forefront of political agenda, as communities it is up to us to address the surge of HIV infections which is a huge problem currently facing our youth.” Bishop Mfihlo, leader of the Apostolic Amen Church, said school curriculum education can only do so much, as long as talks around sexual health and HIV awareness remain taboo and stigmatised in communities and religious spaces, transmissions will remain high.
