Manafwa high school
Hosted a cafe on:-
HIV/AIDS
Speaker: Wambwa Tom Namonyo, clinical officer
Date: 23rd July 2009
Highlights
Wambwa discussed what HIV means, the difference between HIV and AIDS and the different types of HIV.
He also discusses how HIV is transmitted – through unscreened blood, through unprotected sexual intercourse and from mother to child, at birth.
Students had many questions: how do ARVs help someone with AIDS, can the virus be transmitted by bites, why do some people get Septrin rather than ARVs and so on.
