This is Massindi, a small town in Uganda.
These are two of Massindi's schools, Massesco Secondary and Kamerasi Primary,
just two schools out of hundreds of thousands in Africa.
Religion plays a huge part in the lives of people in Uganda.
There are many religions here, but Christian to the majority,
and the evangelicals are on a recruitment drive.
You and me, you're not supposed to die as sinners.
You can die as a saint tonight if you accept Jesus Christ.
Puritanical views run deep, particularly when it comes to sex.
You're handsome and you're spoiling the handsomeness with women.
This calls to booze. Is it glorifying God? Is it glorifying the devil?
AIDS overshadows Uganda.
Seven percent of adults are infected.
That's 70 times higher than the UK, and a terrible risk.
Student evangelists promote abstinence from sex.
You have to change likewise to people who suffer from AIDS.
But teenagers in Massesco are like teenagers everywhere,
and a life of celibacy is not for everyone.
When you're sexing, sexing.
A girl. Yeah, I've got my girlfriend.
Dixon is 16.
Already has a great knowledge of women,
and likes to spend his break times sharing it.
A normal person cannot stay alone.
If you're white, your penises working.
You know, here in Massesco, maybe in Uganda,
a spade is a spade.
Don't call the big spade that a small spoon.
You call it a spade, a spade, a spoon, a spoon.
He's taking a risk, because here you can be imprisoned
for seven years if you have sex with someone under the age of 18.
It's a crime called defilement.
How can you obtain sex?
How can I obtain sex?
It is a sure deal that when I go home, if I want, I will give.
It is good.
Dixon, do you think that you have a high chance of being affected by HIV?
I have, but normally, if maybe I hear about that girl,
at least I would put two protectors.
You put on two protectors at once?
Yeah.
Then you start giving.
At least I would be wearing two, two.
And he has some dangerously inaccurate advice to give them.
I want to correct you.
It is not a matter of saying that maybe if you go naked,
with a person who is affected with AIDS,
that you will get what, you will get AIDS.
What causes AIDS, maybe HIV, that virus?
When you start bringing her, bringing her,
using what?
Using force.
You will cause your person to hurt.
That's when you will find that you have got AIDS.
Maybe HIV.
But if you do it gently, gently.
I think you will not get that virus.
Dixon lives in a village called BC, five miles away from school.
He lives with his grandparents and 22 brothers, sisters and cousins
on a well-kept farm.
When the children are not in school, they all help out on the land.
But tucked away behind the goats, the family has a hidden graveyard.
There are 25 graves, all dark in the last seven years.
