Archbishop Desmond Tutu has called for homosexuality to be decriminalised to help tackle HIV.
His comments come in an analysis in The Lancet journal of why incidence of the virus continues to grow among men who have sex with men.
Dr. Tutu said anti-homosexuality laws would in the future be seen as “wrong” as apartheid laws are now.
The archbishop is patron of the Desmond Tutu HIV Foundation, based in Cape Town, which provides treatment for HIV and carries out research.
