Thank you, hon Minister. Obviously the whole idea of "sex with a virgin" being a sort of cure basically predates what we have today. It is not a new thing; it is something that came from the Victorian era or whatever. So it is not about that kind of research.
What is actually happening - particularly around the time of our previous budget debates when we talked to a lot of the very same people that you spoke to and the NGOs that are working with children that are at risk and actually in crisis - is that there is still an outcry for a campaign to demolish the perception - which they call a lie - that sleeping with a virgin will cure Aids.
So it was not coming from me; it was coming from those who are actually in that situation. Those people feel that this lie is still out there. They feel that they were promised a campaign to demolish this lie. So the report that, daily, more and more young girls and babies are raped and impregnated with HIV/Aids because of the prevalence of this lie are the words coming from the people working with these children and babies on the ground.
The question is: Do we intend doing anything further in this regard or are we putting this to bed? Seriously, this is a cry coming from the people who are right there at the coalface.
