Dr Osborne said this in a speech read on his behalf by National Aids Council (NAC) director of Programs Fortune Chibamba during a collaboration meeting for youth HIV prevention held in Lusaka yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Our plan is to have more such interactions where the youths and other stakeholders are brought together to dialogue and share information that will help them prevent themselves from the devastating HIV and AIDS virus ,\u2019\u2019 Dr Osborne said.<\/p>\n

He urged the youths to put preventive measures as a priority in there day to day lives adding that if they do not prevent themselves from this deadly virus the infection rates will continue increasing and it is not good for country.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Parents please help us by teaching and educating our youths on this matter which is of great importance adding that if youths are not well informed they will continue doing what they are doing not knowing that they are killing themselves , \u2019 Ms Munthali said.<\/p>\n
