Selected quotes from participants related to their sexuality education

Topic Quote
Sexuality Education at home First of all it begun from home. By the time we were growing my mum used to tell us about HIV and sex
I first learnt about sex from my sister. She told me about sex and the disadvantages and she told me that it is normal. She told me that you can avoid it by avoid having boyfriends and by reading novels and news papers in my free time
Sexuality Education at school Even our teachers at school they used to tell us about HIV. Then we come to secondary at the end of the term, they tell us the disadvantages, and they tell us what the right thing to do is.
They used to tell us that if you get HIV, you will die and if you get pregnant your education will stop from there.
At home I have not learnt from anyone but at school, we are always given talks about sex, about these early pregnancies and then; may be from home what keeps me moving is that I know that my parents love me. So I do not want to disappoint me.
