Youth need urgent sex education � Makgato

Speaking at the Eastern and Southern African countries commitment dialogue hosted by the Ministry of Education, Skills and Development (MoESD) and the Ministry if Health (MoH) at Cresta Lodge in Gaborone recently, Makgato said it was evident that young people were involved in immoral sexual behaviour, and urged government to find solutions to this situation. The dialogue session touched on HIV prevention strategies, fostering positive health outcomes, advocating for access to good quality comprehensive sexuality education, and sexual and reproductive health services for young people in ESA.

She said as the youth paddle through their life course, establish relationships and take decisions about childbearing the information gained will guide them on how to remain HIV free and by so doing contribute to achieving epidemic control of HIV infection.
