Quote:Around 28 percent of South African schoolgirls are HIV positive compared to only 4 percent of boys, statistics from Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi revealed on Thursday, as he condemned the trend of young girls’ involvement with “sugar daddies.”

Quote:"It is clear that it is not young boys who are sleeping with these girls. It is old men," the Sowetan newspaper quoted Motsoaledi as saying.

a very sad situation

Yes....I watched a documentary on how old men who have aids/hiv think they can cure themselves by sleeping with young girls.  The younger the girl the better chance of curing yourself.

That's awful news. I have too seen a documentary about how men think they can get rid of it by sleeping with young girls. Some people get it through passing of the genes. Some people have it without knowing it. There needs to be better awareness.
