The Director General Uganda AIDS Commission, Christine Ondoa has launched a campaign dubbed "Zip up 256" aimed at young people in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
The campaign, which is spearheaded by young HIV/AIDS activists, is intended to reach out to schools and universities using entertainment and testimonies by youth infected with the virus.
"The HIV prevalence rate among the youth is at 4 percent. If we concentrate on them, they will be able to reduce the prevalence rate in the future," Ondoa said, adding that the prevalence broken down between boys and girls is at 1.1 percent.
She further explained that this prevalence however shoots up to 5 percent when girls move to university, saying that they are more vulnerable since they engage in multiple sexual relationships and cross generational sex, the main drivers of new infections.
