New Initiative Against HIV/AIDS

February 7, 2007
By Surihe Gaomas Windhoek


Caprivi, Oshikoto and Otjozondjupa regions are set to become the first regions in the country to benefit from the recently-launched public communication and behaviour change programme in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

The new programme, launched last Friday by the Ministry of Health and Social Services in Windhoek, is called "Communication for Behavioural Impact," or COMBI for short.

The main objective of the COMBI programme is to address the issue of prevention by looking at why people with sufficient knowledge of HIV/AIDS still engage in risky sexual behaviour.
