Even though the HIV prevalence rate in the sub Saharan region has been going down in the last ten years, research has shown that it remains higher in women,reports The Sunday Standard.
Unfortunately, Botswana is no exception to this scenario. Research has shown that many girls and women in Botswana have not acquired the skills of negotiating for safer sex with their partners.
This has been attributed to the cultural setup that, when it comes to sex, women cannot raise their voice to echo what they want. Some cultures do not allow women to question their husbands and to discuss their feelings and desires.
