According to the BBC, 28% of South African school girls are HIV positive. This is such a travesty. The South African Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi is stating that young men are not infecting them but older men are. The South African Health Department put out this ad to engage the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Motsoaledi was put into office in 2009 by Former South African President Thabo Mbeki. Mbeki was instrumental in brainwashing a lot of citizens to believe that HIV does not cause AIDS, because he himself was brainwashed by HIV Denialist and/or Dissidents. Mbeki also claimed that his administration did not have the resources to send aide to all South Africans that were HIV positive. Motsoaledi stated that he has treated pregnant girls that range from ages 10 to 14 who were also HIV positive. After he took office, there were rates of infection that were first greater than 678,000 but climbed to 1.5 million. In 2012 alone 260,000 perished from AIDS, about half of which were from South Africa.
