International News Changes Planned for Ugandan HIV/AIDS CampaignNovember 16, 2009 "The Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC) is revamping its national HIV information campaign after HIV prevention messages were less successful than hoped," PlusNews reports. "Campaigns aimed at ending cross-generational sex will be abandoned in favour of generic warnings about engaging in risky sex because of fears that young people may believe that sex within their own generation is risk-free. Officials have also said factors such as alcohol abuse, which predispose people to risky sexual behaviour, must be tackled alongside HIV prevention" (11/16). In related news, two African leaders sent a letter to Uganda's president warning that two proposed laws could hinder the country's fight against HIV/AIDS, the Citizen reports. The head of an HIV group and a former president of Botswana "wrote that the draft HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Bill 2008 and the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill could have a chilling effect on HIV/AIDS prevention efforts" (Lirri, 11/16).
