17 year old Doso Eriya, a P.6 Pupil at Jami P/s who had started having sex shares his story as;

“I had sex with a 17 year old S.2 girl but that act spoiled my relationship with her and yet we were good friends. She had started other plans of forcing me to have sex with her again but through these sessions about HIV and STDs, I have learnt risks associated with engaging in early sexual activities. I am now willing to test for HIV and know my status as I focus on my studies. Additionally, during holidays, I am going to avoid risky places such as discos, bars, walking at night and avoid bad peer groups. I am going to do a small business of buying and selling agricultural produce such that when the new term starts, I will have some money to use for buying scholastic materials. I have learnt a lot from ACET”
