This article published on New looks at the progress that HIV prevention campaigns in Namibia have accomplished, as well as offering suggestions on how women can protect themselves from HIVinfection.
1) HIV test. Always the first important step is to know one’s HIV status. Testing must always be done jointly with partners, where there are partners involved).
2) Have no concurrent partners. This must strongly be discouraged because it is recognised that it increases the chances of HIV transmission.
3) Use condoms correctly and consistently. They have been proven effective in preventing, not only HIV, but also other STIs and unwanted pregnancies.
