HIV Prevention for Africans in England
posted: 12/10/2010
KWP in Practice is a new website and planning toolkit for meeting the HIV prevention needs of African people in England. The site combines and updates the two key documents, The knowledge, the will and the power, and the African HIV prevention handbook, which were both produced by Sigma Research for the National African HIV Prevention Programme.
Whether you fund HIV prevention for African people, or you plan and deliver these, the website's modular, practical, toolkit approach has something to offer.
Condom use briefing
The new website has a useful new detailed Briefing on condom use among African people in England.
In the Bass Line survey undertaken with more than 2,000 African people in 2008-09,
- one third (30%) of those who had used condoms said that one had slipped or broken off in the past year.
- More than one third (32%) said they would worry about what others thought of them if they carried condoms.
- One fifth (20%) said they sometimes had problems getting hold of condoms.
