THERE
was a startling revelation, yesterday, that males operate sex spots,
just like females in AnambraState. Investigations by the Anambra State
Aids Control Agency, SACA, showed that there are 618 female and 24 male
sex spots in various parts of the state.
Director of SACA, Dr.
Ogochukwu Ndibe, who gave the figures at a harmonization programme for
international partners operating in the state, said there are 5920
female and over 500 male sex workers in the state.
On the average, there are 10 female sex workers and 5 male sex workers in a spot.
He
said: “There are men who have sex with other men as a matter of
preference or practice, regardless of their sexual identity or sexual
orientation and irrespective of whether they also have sex with women or
not.”
According to Ndibe, local governments where the male and
female sex spots were prevalent include Awka South, Awka North, Ihiala,
Onitsha South, Orumba North, Nnewi North, Onitsha North, Aguata, and
Njikoka.
Anambra, with 7.8 per cent prevalence of HIV, is among
the highest in the country, although Ndibe explained that with the
support of the state government and the current interest and support of
many international partners in the state, the rate of spread of HIV in
the state would soon reduce.
