Cross River governor, Ben Ayade has said one of the ways to prevent HIV/AIDS was for young people to remain virgins until they get married.
Ayade said this on Thursday in Calabar at the commemoration of the 2016 World AIDS Day celebration.
Ayadw also said married couples have to remain faithful to their partners.
He said, “The absolute factor that can put an end to HIV/AIDS spread is total loyalty and abstinence.
“Married couples must be faithful to their partners. Young people must remain virgins until they get married and never allow any barber to use unsterilised clipper to cut your hair.
“Whatever the story, AIDS is real, it is a scourge, you must avoid it.’’
He further stated that African culture regard sex before marriage as a tabbo, while stating that condom has made young people more promiscuous.
“Rather, it increases the level of promiscuity among the younger generation and encouraged unfaithfulness,’’ he added.
