TAILIEUCHUNG - Nelson Mandela HSRC Study of HIV/AIDS - Executive Summary

Knowledge of HIV/AIDS is generally high, with sexual behaviour changes taking root in encouragingly low numbers of sexual partners and high levels of abstinence among the youth.

Consequently we joined hands with the Human Sciences Research Council to undertake the first national community-based study on behavioural and socio-cultural determinants contributing to vulnerability to HIV AIDS as well as the testing of HIV antibodies in individuals. The study also focused on the impact of the mass media on knowledge attitudes and prevention. It forms part of the Nelson Mandela Foundation s HIV AIDS strategy for care and destigmatisation. I would like to thank all the individuals who gave up their time to provide us with the necessary information as well as the
