AIDS SPREAD BLAMED ON DRUGS

Kampala

The high prevalence of the AIDS scourge has been blamed on breakdown
of family values among the youths.

"There is a breakdown of family values among youths. Pornography, use
of drugs like marijuana and recently, ekimansulo are the main reasons
why AIDS is not decreasing," the MP for Sheema North, has said.

Dr. Eliod Tumwesigye also the chairperson of the parliamentary
sectoral committee on HIV / AIDS, said this at the closure of a
one-week seminar on 'stay safe and smart' concept at Ruyonza Secondary
School in Bushenyi recently.

He decried the rate at which AIDS was spreading, especially among the
youths.
