Men urged to stop spreading HIV-AIDS

By: OSWALD SHIVUTE at OSHAKATI

A YOUTH project in Oshakati called the People's Health Project (PHP) is calling upon Namibian men to stop spreading HIV-AIDS.

Joseph Ashipala, the co-ordinator of PHP, said in a press statement

that men, who he described as as the primary decision-makers at

household, institutional and community levels, were also likely to

dominate in reproductive and sexual issues.

"Namibian men should refrain from cultural myths on sexuality,

and abuse of alcohol and drugs, which can lead them to practising

immoral habits, such as rape and murder of infants," Ashipala

said.

 

He said men should join men's organisations and platforms that

could help educate and provide them with reproductive health

information and services
