Condoms in schools: Let children speak
RECENTLY, there has been debate that condoms ought to be distributed in schools to curb the spread of HIV. This was not the National Aids Council’s (NAC) view, but they were bringing out what they had found out in their survey and what the general public felt would be a mitigatory factor to the spread of the HIV virus.
