New Vision (Kampala) - September 23, 2008
Charles Jjuuko
Bandikubi was speaking at the closing ceremony of a one-week training course of over 30 peer educators at Kayunga community centre on Monday.
He said cases of adultery among married couples in the district had increased, adding that those who were not married had multiple sex partners.
"It has been discovered that most people are reluctant to use condoms that would protect them from being infected," he said.
The district HIV-people representative, Ssenoga Mubanda, said 6.5% of the people in the district were HIV-positive, adding that the percentage would increase if residents continued to be immoral.
The trainees will work in Kayunga and Bbaale sub-counties.
