Many studies have documented its efficiency in reducing the risk of contracting HIV infection in men. Because of that, Zimbabwe like other countries in the Southern Africa region, with generalised HIV infections is finding ways to scale-up MMC in non-circumcised communities.

Age-parity relationships between High school teenage girls and older men known as “Sugar Daddies” or “Blessers”, who showered High school teenage girls with money and expensive gifts, were believed to be spreading HIV.

Abstract:
Prevention of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in South Africa includes early detection and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), as well as health promotion activities. The latter include health education programmes and the promotion of screening activities such as voluntary counselling and testing (VCT). The South African government recognises the need for creating equity for access to health care services. The 1997 White Paper for the Transformation of the Health System, stipulates one of the aims of health Policy in the new South Africa as ‘promoting equity by develo

Abstract:
Antiretroviral drugs were introduced into Uganda during the past decade and have revolutionised the treatment of AIDS. However, in as much as success was recorded, new challenges emerged. One such challenge was the continued use of condoms. This study investigated existing knowledge, attitudes and practices of condom use in a time of highly active antiretroviral therapy in a rural area. A quantitative, cross sectional design, with probability sampling form the general population was utilised.

Abstract:
Substantial empirical research has documented that HIV prevention and decision-making are heavily influenced by the knowledge and practice of values and beliefs regarding infection and behavior. Most HIV research is still concentrated among high-risk populations (IDU and FSW), leaving out women in long-term heterosexual marriage who have been considered “safe” and less at risk of infection. In addition, researchers have called for more comparative and cross-cultural studies focused on the interplay of health education, behaviors, context, and HIV risk perception.
