Increase in STIs and HIV/AIDS linked to failure of using protection

The increase in sexually transmitted infections and HIV/AIDS has been linked to the failure of using protection.

This is according to the President and Fiji’s special representative on HIV/AIDS Ratu Epeli Nailatikau.

He also highlighted that 30 new cases were recorded within the first 6 months of this year and one of the reasons is that people are not using contraceptives.

On the streets, there are mixed reactions on the usage of condoms.
