The Soroti district chairperson encourages young people to desist from engaging in sexual intercourse until they are old enough to make informed decisions about their sexuality especially during this long holiday.
Simon Peter Edoru Ekuu says to prevent HIV, STIs and unwanted pregnancies, it is important to encourage young people to abstain from sex until they are old enough to make informed decisions.
According to him, although it has become unpopular among people to practice abstinence, there are a few who are willing to wait until they come of age.
He now reassures holiday makers to engage themselves in reading books until the term opens.
