RISKY sexual behaviour among older people between 30 to 45 years is fuelling the HIV/Aids crisis, Dr Sam Okware has said.
The commissioner for health services at the Ministry of Health (MoH) said many new HIV infections were being registered among people in this age bracket, which includes mostly married couples and formerly married.
He said they were involved in errant sexual behaviour such as extra marital sex and were having multiple sexual partners. Dr Okware said this at an Aids Conference in Kampala.
