Résumé :

This study discusses the choices available to women in their sexual relationships within the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Using groups of women and men, guided by trained moderators, it explores the participants’ knowledge on HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention, the consequences of AIDS, communications with sexual partners and counseling adolescents on HIV/AIDS prevention, among other topics. A key finding suggests that although the female participants are knowledgeable on HIV transmission, they are still fearful of acquiring the disease.
