On the 3rd of May we had volunteers from Planned Parenthood
Association of Zambia (PPAZ) who took us through the following
sessions – gender equality, safe sex, teenage pregnancy, HIV and
STI’s.
We learnt a lot about how HIV is transmitted and some of the
preventatives against it. We also learnt about different types of
STI’s and how they are contracted.
Special guests gave us an insight into how they lead a HIV positive
life, sharing with us the difficulties they face and how they
struggled to come to terms with the revelation. Denial caused one man
to become within an inch of death.
It was a useful session and comforting to know that more people are
now aware of the importance of safe sex.
