*Parirenyatwa says new HIV infections high at tertiary institutions*
https://www.pindula.co.zw/2016/10/04/parirenyatwa-says-new-hiv-infections-high-at-universities/?article

In an interview with NewZimbabwe.com, Health Minister Dr David Parirenyatwa said colleges and universities across the country have become new sources of high HIV infection.

Parirenyatwa said,

_New HIV infections at higher learning institutions have shot up and statistics available are shocking, particularly among young women and girls. So the challenge that I am giving to departments in my Ministry and other stakeholders in the fight against the spread of HIV is – how do we close that ‘tape’ at the universities? It’s a big, big challenge because to close the tape, you have to be tested then treated, so we need to identify it and it’s the places I have mentioned. So we are now saying let’s close all those tapes where HIV is coming in through._

In May this year, State media reported that voluntary HIV testing at the University of Zimbabwe had revealed that 47% of the students who participated tested positive for HIV at the country’s oldest tertiary institution. University authorities later rejected the allegations and dismissed the report.
