Many young school girls are falling victims of HIV and AIDS in Juba.

The alert comes form Carlina Denya who works for the Red Cross HIV Home Based Care.

She told Bakhita Radio that some young school girls date old men for money and get infected with HIV.

Ms Denya revealed that although most girls got the virus through sexual intercourse, others were infected by instruments such as razors and syringes shared with relatives suffering from HIV AIDS.

Ms Denya said out of 50 people tested every day and at least 35 of them were positive, mainly young.
