AFRICA: 28 million Africans now living with HIV/AIDS (2)
--------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for interesting postings.
The study you refer to by UNAIDS is useful, but it relies on data
which is rather old - demographic and health surveys in 1996/7 and
1998 - this is valid and interesting, but in a fast moving epidemic
with many changes one cannot assume that things have not changed over
the past 5 years. In fact if one understands behaviour and social
change processes the first step is awareness, this is followed by a
number of steps forward (and backwards).
In our work in Soul City we have found changes in safe sex behaviour
over the years (in South Africa).
Lets be more positive!
