Call for peer to peer HIV support groups

A South Sudanese Youth activist is calling  for the creation of  Peer to Peer  HIV support groups in South Sudan, on World Aids Day.

 

Peer to Peer  support has already gained ground in Maridi, where HIV health workers are reporting a spike in HIV prevalence rates.

 

Peter Garang Ngor, the peer, the coordinator Students peer project in Maridi, said he was "shocked about the several misconceptions surrounding HIV and AIDS,  as i speak there are some youths who are saying , that there is nothing like HIV aids, this is just a trick..."

 

Garang turned up for a discussion on Miraya Breakfast show with Sebit William, on why Peer to Peer support matters as a strategy to prevent farther spread of HIV.
