A volunteer at Mbeya recounts stories of the beliefs revolving around virgin, by which we mean virgin women*. First, the idea that sex with a virgin cures HIV/AIDS, which is not that unheard of despite the somewhat inescapable problem that if sex cured anything, there would be a lot less disease in the world.
Second, some people are sacrificing virgins to bring good outcomes in business. I need one of my favorite fictional characters, Dean Winchester from Supernatural, to declare in all his good-looking and well-muscled hero-ness that no one will be sacrificing any virgins.
* because we don't police men's sexuality; men are acknowledged to be more than the sum of what they do between their legs. Bloody patriarchy.
