FRANCISTOWN: Legalise sex work and homosexuality to fight HIV and AIDS, says Uyapo Ndadi, director of the Botswana Network on Ethics, Law and HIV/Aids (BONELA).

Speaking at the Human Rights HIV/AIDS awareness campaign that was held at the Galo Shopping Complex in Francistown on Saturday, Ndadi said although Botswana has well-celebrated treatment programmes, it still remains the hub of HIV and AIDS in the world.

This, he noted, is because there are many gaps in the response to the deadly scourge of HIV/AIDS. "We need to identify these gaps and plug them. I note that the world is moving towards universality and human rights for all irrespective of status or sexual orientation," he said.
