环球慢速英语 索韦托福音合唱团(6)

Voice 1: Lucas believes that the choir¹ is in a very special position to help. The people of South Africa respect the choir. It is famous. They come to hear them sing. But at every show the choir also helps to educate people. They talk about HIV/AIDS. They tell people how to avoid catching² the HIV virus. They explain the facts. They tell people the best way of avoiding catching HIV. It is for two uninfected people to remain faithful to each other. The church teaches that sex should only happen in marriage. If that happens then there is no risk of ever catching HIV through sex. They also explain that having unprotected sex can cause one person to pass the virus on to another. Using a rubber protective device, a condom, during sex greatly reduces that risk.
