Kenya: Legalise Gay Unions, Says Aids Researcher
Monday, April 30th, 2007Gay relationships should be legalised as a measure to control the spread of HIV/Aids.
Chief Executive Officer of the South African based Human Sciences Research Council, Prof Olive Shisana, told an international conference on HIV/Aids that failure by Governments in Africa to legalise the relationships has adversely contributed to the spread of the disease.
She explained that those who practised the behaviour did it secretly since it was illegal thereby failing to observe preventive measures.
“Statistics have revealed that homosexual men relationships stood in the way of efforts to check the spread of HIV/Aids,” Shisana said in a key address.
