Stars of Shuga talk about the exciting series (6)

What is your take on the Shuga message (sexual health and what not? How important of a conversation is it amongst today’s enlightened, tech savvy youth?

The Shuga message is absolutely crucial. I think we need to take the Shuga message out and get people talking about things like sex and HIV. If you got to Nairobi and Kampala, they have one of the highest HIV statistics in the world. Instead of holding on to the message that had been preached for years that haven’t yielded any result that the only way to prevent STDs is by abstinence, they did the sensible thing which was to start educating the public about protecting themselves. They were not preaching, they were spreading the message. That if you were going to do this, then you should be aware of the consequence. Then if you are aware, use protection and as a result of that, Uganda now has one of the lowest rate of HIV victims in the world. It isn’t rocket science; we just need to do the basic thing.
