Dudley added that
educating employees lessens the risks of sexual infections and unplanned
pregnancy.
The African Christian Democratic Party has
welcomed Parliament’s STI/Condom Awareness Week.
ACDP MP Cheryllyn Dudley has called on the
Minister of both Social Development and Health to strengthen partnerships to
provide community access to programmes on STI’s and available support.
“While HIV/AIDS and TB awareness has
increased far fewer warnings about other sexually transmitted infections are
noticeable.” Dudley said
She also said The ACDP has always cautioned
against promoting condoms as the ultimate solution to HIV and STI’s however we accept
that they are a necessary aspect of managing the situation people find
themselves in.
She concluded by saying the ACDP stresses
the importance of a consistent message encouraging young people to commit to
delaying sexual activity for as long as possible.
