A KAPB study to establish baseline data in targeted groups of selected districts of Malawi; for future HIV prevention campaigns: survey report [Draft]

ABSTRACT

This study finds that progress has been noted as to the degree in which AIDS is seen as a serious health problem; as to the awareness of the danger of sex with multiple partners and as to the possibility of avoiding AIDS. Furthermore; the use of condoms as a possible protection seems to be better accepted in the public than it was a year ago. The main trends of the findings show a general awareness of HIV/AIDS and risk awareness; a preference for specific health educatioon methods such as radio; health talks and discussion among friends and partners; a general acceptance of condoms as protective barriers and a need for distribution and adjustment of guidelines for condom use
