Conflicting messages affecting anti-AIDS campaign

Akwansrem (Ash), Aug. 14, GNA- Dr Seth Ayi, Executive Director of Hope For Humanity (HFH), an NGO, has condemned conflicting messages being churned out on the campaign against HIV/AIDS.

"While we are told to abstain from sex or delay sex from well meaning media on one hand, films and music from TV, FM Radio stations, Video studios and stations seem to suggest Love Sex, Try it". Dr Ayi was speaking at an HIV/AIDS sensitisation durbar at Akwansrem in the Adansi East District organised by HFH and sponsored by the Ghana AIDS Commission.

It aimed at sensitising the people to adopt healthier lifestyles to prevent HIV in the district.

Dr Ayi called on civil society organisations and other bodies to act decisively to stop the confusion being churned out to the youth. He lauded the current "multi-pronged and multi-sectoral" approach to stem the pandemic, especially among the youth and other vulnerable groups.
