Unnatural sex does not prevent
AIDS…Dr Ed Nignpense
Tema, Nov 25, Ghanadot/GNA – Students have been advised
to discard the notion that engaging in unnatural sex
prevents the contraction of Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STDs) especially Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome (AIDS) as it was not true.
Dr. Bortier Ed Nignpense, Official of the Ghana Health
Service (GHS) who gave the advice said homosexuals and
lesbians stood a greater risk of contracting HIV as
fluids from cuts they got from their sexual activities
could contain the virus.
Dr. Ed Nignpense was speaking at a-day’s forum on
HIV/AIDS organised by the Tema Youth for Christ (TYC) in
conjunction with the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA)
and Ghana AIDS Commission for students of the five
Junior High Schools in Tema Community Seven.
He said a lot of people have been deceived into
believing that, being an homosexual or a lesbian was one
of the ways of protecting themselves from contracting
the disease, adding that AIDS was not only acquired
through heterosexual intercourse.
He advised students not to concentrate on the pleasures
of sex neither to fall prey to people who engaged in
unnatural sexual activities as it would destroy their
future.
Dr. Ed Nignpense said students should refrain from
entering into blood covenant with their peers and also
sharing of personal objects such as blade, toothbrushes
among others must be discouraged.
Mr Abraham Sanni-Thomas, Board Chairman of TYC called on
the youth to refrain from watching pornographic
materials, having sexual conversations and touching the
sensitive parts of the opposite sex as it arouses sexual
desire.
