View of students following RBC messages
Kayonza: It was on April 29 that the team of the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) hosted a show made of music and theater, punctuated with messages, for the purpose of urging the 1,111 students of Kayonza Modern School, including 714 girls and 407 boys to stop SIIDA.
Solange Uwamariya, 20 years old, is in the 6th year PCB section (Physics, Chemistry, Biology). She believes that the presence of RBC in the school has enhanced her knowledge in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
“I didn’t know that in case of rape or impromptu unprotected sex, I had to go to the Center de Sante within 72 hours to receive treatment for possible HIV/AIDS infection. I had general knowledge, but incomplete. RBC allowed me to be updated. It is important. I have already tested negative. I am healthy. I want to continue to protect myself to focus on building my future,” she says.

Uwamariya knows that to protect herself, she resorts to continence, condoms, and the non-use of sharp instruments that have been used by infected people. She hasn’t had sex yet. She knows that being in contact with infected blood can be the cause of contamination.
Uwamariya shares his knowledge with his colleague from another MEG (Mathematics-Economics-Geography) section, Michael Ndakize, also 20 years old.
Ndakize has not yet been tested to find out his HIV status. But he wants to do it soon.
“Our school has an anti-AIDS club which updates us in our knowledge of the fight against HIV/AIDS. You must always have protected intercourse when you do not know how to submit to continence. Alcohol and drugs inhibit self-control and lead to unprotected sex and AIDS. This is why self-control remains a safeguard that protects,” says Ndakize.
He regrets that there are young people outside the establishment who behave badly and who endanger their lives. In particular young girls attracted by the lure of lucre and gain and who are deceived by married adults. Greater awareness is needed to bring such lost sheep back to the right path, according to Ndakize.
The Mayor of Kayonza district, Jean-Bosco Nyemazi.
Apart from Kayonza Modern School, the RNA journalist also spoke with the Mayor of Kayonza district, Jean-Bosco Nyemazi.
The Mayor of Kayonza indicated that this district has 7694 people under the ARV regime, 216 early pregnancies in underage girls since July 2022. The men who have undergone circumcision are 5980 for the Gahini hospital (it does not did not yet have the data for Rwinkwavu hospital).
“Kayonza is a crossroads of roads and passengers from neighboring countries and elsewhere. We do our best to prevent our young girls from engaging in prostitution. We sanction the people who sell them. When a victim reports the information, we investigate and enforce the law. But above all, we are carrying out community sensitization to change behavior,” he said.
Asked about the information provided by the population according to which students of the GS of Rukara jump the walls to go drink in cabarets or even to practice sexual intercourse in the small nearby forest, the Mayor of Kayonza replied that in this case , we also carry out an investigation.
“If it turns out to be confirmed that the information is real, we engage in talks with the pupils in the school. We urge them to desist from such undignified behavior. A young girl who becomes a mother is a burden for herself and for her family. It is a brake for the preparation of its future. It is a patent failure. A break, a break, ”he hammered. (END)
