Today’s episode will focus on Preventing HIV
Why do you think we choose this topic? In previous episodes we have learned that family planning forms a key part of pregnancy prevention. We have also learned how engaging in sex can have serious health implications through the spread of sexually transmitted infections. It is important that learn one of the most serious sexually transmitted infections – HIV so that we are able to prevent the spread of HIV in Sierra Leone.
After this episode, you will be able to:
1) Define the term HIV
2) Explain how HIV is transmitted from person to person in Sierra Leone
3) Explain what is meant by the term risky behavior
4) Understand how to protect yourself from HIV
