TI HIV transmission in women--the Ugandan experience.
DT 9412
AU Nabalonzi J; AIDS Support Organ. (Taso), Uganda.
SO Int Conf AIDS. 1994 Aug 7-12;10(1):377 (abstract no. PD0115). Unique
Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370456
AB OBJECTIVE: To examine the risky behaviours that transmit HIV infection
in women with special reference to Uganda. METHOD: 1) Interpersonal
discussion with 165 women of different tribes and religions who are HIV
positive and registred with TASO Mulago over a period of 2 years. 2)
Through my counselling experience for the last three years in TASO
Mulago-Uganda. RESULTS: Although there is broad knowledge about the AIDS
epidemic, Sociocultural behavious influencing HIV transmission in women
have not been modified. CONCLUSION: In view of my counselling experience
and the interpersonal discussions held with HIV positive women in TASO
Mulago, I conclude that efforts to control the epidemic should be
focused on modification of sexual behaviour and abandoning risky
cultural norms--through sensitizing the public.
