MOTHERWELL: TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS MOST AT RISK
Aids campaign launched REPORTER
L
AST Thursday, September 28, saw the fight against HIV and Aids in the Nelson Mandela Bay take a giant step forward when the Nelson Mandela Bay Counselling and Testing Campaign was launched at the Raymond Mhlaba Sports Centre in Motherwell.
The launch was specifically located in Motherwell because it has the highest prevalence of pregnancy terminations, teenage pregnancies, HIV infections and sexual violence in Nelson Mandela Bay, according to the HIV and Aids office manager of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM), Dineo Mokonenyane. At the launch of the campaign, Mo-
konenyane presented the state of HIV and Aids and relevant factors and influences in the Nelson Mandela Bay area. Her presentation was based on a report that was presented by the Department of Health at the Nelson Mandela Bay Aids Council sitting recently. According to the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality spokesperson,
Mthubanzi Mniki, the awareness campaign is a partnership programme between the NMBM, the Departments of Health, Social Development and Education, and the non-governmental organisation, Khethimpilo. The main objectives of the campaign is to decrease the rate of new HIV infections among girls and
young women, decrease teenage pregnancies, especially among female learners, keep girls in school until they finish matric, introduce them to programmes that will assist them in furthering their studies and also decrease the number of sexual and gender-based violence,” Mniki said.
