Some young people at Mdavula say it is important to practice safe sex.
“I prefer to use condoms as a safety [measure], when I am done doing that sexual what what. I am sexually active, I am clean too much. Yes, I use condoms, I protect myself using condoms and also abstain where needs be,” says one of them. Meanwhile, Limpopo MEC for Health, Dr Phophi Ramathuba, says the program is meant to help reduce HIV infection amongst the youth.
“The launch of this strategy will be to assist us to deal with all these risk factors that lead young people into unprotected sex and also spread of HIV,” adds Ramathuba.
