(Samoa) - Samoa Aids Foundation president Ken Moala says HIV positive athletes can receive on-going treatment in Apia during the South Pacific Games. Samoa's Aids Foundation launched it's 'Safe Games' campaign with the theme, 'In Samoa, Be Safe, Be a Winner'. Youth will be at the airport, venues and athletes village with kits containing condoms. Meanwhile, SPG officials have overruled a ban on the country's Gay competitors at the event having sex. Team Samoa management issued a memo in June to its athletes and officials banning them from engaging in same-sex relationships at the games, which start in Apia on August 25. Homosexuality is illegal in Samoa, with a penalty for indecency between males of up to five years' jail. Five thousand people are expected in Samoa's capital Apia to attend the games.
