Nkoyooyo Advises Spouses On HIV/Aids

New Vision (Kampala) - November 8, 2001
Kikonyogo Ngatya


People living with HIV or those who have lost spouses to AIDS should be free to get married but should use condoms to avoid re-infection, the Church of Uganda Archbishop, Mpalanyi Nkoyooyo, has said.

He said this yesterday while officiating at this year's HIV/AIDS campaign in memory of the late Philly Bongoley Lutaaya at the Centenary Park in Kampala. Lutaya, who died 12 years ago, was a famous Sweden-based Ugandan musician who was the first Ugandan to publically declare that he had AIDS.

This year's theme, 'Aids and Men- I care. Do you?' is targeting men to use their social economic and political power over other people to reduce the spread of the disease.
