Cape Town Mayor Helen Zille, will be publicly tested at St George’s Mall at 10:15 on Friday morning.
“Prevention is as easy as ABC. Abstaining from sex is a key option for young people who have not yet become sexually active. Married individuals or those in a committed relationship need to take responsibility for their lives and those they love. First prize is to remain faithful to their life partner (Be faithful). For sexually active people not yet in a committed relationship they also need to take responsibility for their lives and to always practice safer sex and use a Condom every time they have sex,” says the city’s Executive Director for Health, Dr Ivan Toms.
