Court president warn youth on HIV/AIDS

Speaking at the commemoration of the Month of Youth Against AIDS at the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) Donga camp over the weekend, Mosojane said a large number of young men, women and children are affected by the epidemic. "There can be no doubt that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a threat to the economic, social and political stability of any country," she said.

She added that there are many risk factors associated with the spread of HIV/AIDS among youth. She said competitive lifestyles tend to lead some young individuals to resort to risky behaviours in an endeavour to earn a living and fight poverty. "They abuse alcohol, engage in commercial sex and many a risky behaviour," she said.
