In about one week, Antigua and Barbuda will officially celebrate its two-day Carnival. Health advocates are raising concerns about a trend that follows the yearly celebrations.
According to statistics, unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases tend to increase.

Health officials are calling on revelers to practice safe sex during the season.
Hmmm hope they take heed
It’s great to hear about the health system advocating for testing to know your status before such an important event. These STD are not written on anyone’s faces nor can one know of their primary status without getting tested. I advise all attendees to take advantage of this
Nothing called safe sex when alcohol is in your vein! they just party till dey drop. and then have sex in the bush or behind a car or even inside their car. some go home and wake wondering who’s this person.
Guys, let’s really take this seriously. We need to do better. if rum make you make bad decisions leave it alone. it’s too many diseases out there.
I.will get tested for Hiv when you stop carnival
