Although no justification at all, I did some research as to why this is happening in Zambia. I found that a myth is what's fueling this barbaric crime across southern Africa, men are told that if you want to succeed at work or cure yourself of AIDS, you need to have sex with a minor, virgin, or one of your own children.

Some 20% of Zambians are HIV positive. The incidence of child rape is one factor behind the high number of young girls who are HIV positive. The laws are clearly too weak, I read of cases where men are merely given fines or 2-3 month sentences.

I can't help but think education has a huge part to play, in a country where anti-viral drugs are too expensive or not available, most people are forced to turn to alternative therapies/traditional healers for medical advice, not least because so few can afford a doctor. This is where these old myths are perpetuated. I fully realise this is no excuse for such a sickening act..what can we do to put a stop to it?

Education is the biggest weapon to help put an end to this disease another is the introduction of free health care and affordable health like they do in Cuba whereby the health care system is so good its better then the one in the United Kingdom. those are the only way we can put an end to high levels of HIV and STIs in Sub Saharan Africa.
