AB METHOD: A qualitative study based on focus groups and in depth
interviews with women and men to create and test educational
interventions to prevent HIV/AIDS among women in Guatemala. RESULTS:
Based on two basic types of interventions 100 women in a prenatal clinic
were followed through out their pregnancy in order to evaluate the
efficacy of interventions to change knowledge and attitudes toward
HIV/AIDS. Overall result of case studies show that interventions
increase knowledge and change attitudes toward subject related to
HIV/AIDS, condom use, communication with partner and children,
self-esteem and sexually transmitted diseases. CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The overall conclusion is that better communication
is needed among families so that issues related to HIV can be discussed,
which in the future can lead to prevention. 2. Further dissemination of
workshops needs to take place so that the guatemalan population can be
adequately educated to prevent HIV disease.
