A vital book that helps prevent young people in Africa from getting HIV by giving them frank and factual information about the body and sexuality. The author interviewed young people in several African countries about their vision of how they might reach an ideal sexual relationship and how they can face the basic challenges brought about by our fast moving world. The result is a book that should form the basis for any credible reproductive health education for young people. Among the subjects covered are frank and factual information about the body and sexuality and help on how to avoid unwanted pregnancy and abortion. Also provided is up-to date-information on STDs and HIV infection and ways of having group activities to enhance communication skills and self-esteem. Guidance is also provided on the dangers of alcohol, drug and tobacco abuse.
