Alarming Rate Of HIV In University Of Zimbabwe. by emmaliver(m): 5:20pm On May 21, 2016 |
Almost Half Of University Of Zimbabwe Students
Are HIV Positive .
May 20, 2016
The University of Zimbabwe (UZ) has moved to
limit inter-residence visits between male and
female students after almost half of the students
who underwent HIV testing, tested positive.
According The Chronicle, the startling revelation
came as a result of voluntary HIV testing that
took place at Zimbabwe’s oldest tertiary
institution, with 47% of the students testing
positive for the virus.
Confirming the results, UZ Vice Chancellor Levi
Nyagura said that criticism of his management
style would not deter him from limiting contact
between male and female students as well as
strongly advising against promiscuity.
“The grim statistics of sexually transmitted
diseases at the institution have forced us to have
a limit for inter-residence visits between female
and male students. We have consulted lots of
parents and all of them do not want to promote
promiscuity by allowing students to enjoy married
lifestyles by staying with their girlfriends in the
halls of residence,” Nyagura said.
Jimmy Wilford, Director of SayWhat, an
organisation set to raise awareness around HIV,
expressed concern over Nyagura’s stance on the
matter, claiming that his heavy-handedness could
send out the wrong message due to some
students who may have been born with the
disease.
The development came after recent claims that
students at Zimbabwe’s Midlands State University
(MSU) had exhibited reckless sexual behaviour,
leading to an increase in the prevalence of HIV at
the institution.
According to The Herald, Mambewu Shumba,
Provincial Co-ordinator for National Aids Council
Midlands, condemned the allegedly aggressive
sexual behavior of MSU students, claiming that
they were a major contributor of an increase in
HIV prevalence in the Gweru area of the country.
