HIV AND AIDS PREVENTION PLAN
We are the change we have been waiting for: young people taking responsibility for their sexual and reproductive health
Abstract
The aim of this prevention plan is to increase knowledge and uptake of family planning (FP) options, and to promote HIV and STI prevention among young people from age 18 to 24. It involves educating a targeted population in Straatford Farm village in KwaZulu-‐Natal province about how HIV is transmitted and how it can be prevented. Young people will also be informed about FP and sexual and reproductive health rights. The project will establish relationships with HIV and FP related services in the area and distribute information in the community to promote access to these services. The project will place a particular emphasis on encouraging Voluntary HIV counselling and Testing (HCT) among young people.
Goal
The goal of this pilot project is to reduce risk to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, as well as reducing unplanned pregnancies, by increasing knowledge of prevention methods and promoting access to primary health care services among young people from Straatford Farm village.
