How-To Guide for African HIV Prevention
posted: 10/11/2009
Sigma Research have just published the 'How-To' guide for HIV prevention among Africans living in the UK, called the "African HIV prevention Handbook: putting The Knowledge, The Will and The Power into practice."
This follows the prevention action plan produced in 2007-08 with the National African HIV Prevention Programme (NAHIP). That described the state of the HIV epidemic among African people living in England and set out the purpose, targets and aims for planning HIV prevention for Africans in this country. The chief goal is to minimise the number of sexual HIV acquisitions and transmissions involving African people living in England.
Sigma worked closely with the NAHIP to produce this ‘How-To’ handbook. It clearly describes the broad range of possible HIV prevention interventions, and clarifies the concepts and the language used to describe various interventions. It describes prevention interventions, their limitations and ways to get the best out of them.
Working well together has led to this handbook with clear and purposeful descriptions of existing ongoing and future HIV prevention interventions for African people in England. Sigma tell us they are proud of the partnership behind this and hope that it will support everyone concerned with reducing HIV transmissions.
