London, July 17(ANI): A HIV awareness campaign in UK is urging football fans, who attended the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, to visit their local sexual health clinic if they had unprotected sex during their trip.
Up to 25,000 England fans recently returned from South Africa, where about six million people have HIV.
The campaign, 'Beer Goggle Johnny's Guide to Sexual Health', has been launched by Birmingham's Heartlands Hospital, but has been backed by national organizations.r. Steve Taylor, sexual health and HIV consultant at Heartlands Hospital, said that nearly one in five young adults living in South Africa were infected with the virus, and in some areas it could be as high as one in three.
"During the festivities if holiday makers had unprotected sex it is more important than ever to get themselves checked out on their return," the BBC quoted Dr. Taylor, as saying. (ANI)
