Abstract

Die klem sal tans op die voorkoming van MIV /VIGS wees, want behandeling is te duur in ontwikkelende lande insluitende Suid-Afrika . Voorkoming sluit 'n onderrigkomponent in. Om doeltreffend te wees moet onderrig nie net kennis verskaf nie, maar persone motiveer om bewus te raak van houdings, waardes en gedrag wat 'n risiko inhou. Alhoewel voorkoming van MIV/VIGS op drie vlakke gelyktydig behoort te geskied , word in hierdie artikel slegs op primere voorkoming gefokus met vroue as die teikengroep. Aandag word geskenk aan faktore wat hydra tot die groter risiko van vroue vir MIV-infeksie soos hulle biologiese kwesbaarheid en die sosio-kulturele en ekonomiese faktore waaraan hulle onderhewig is.

Met betrekking tot primere voorkoming word hoofsaaklik gefokus op biomediese en gedragsintervensie en voorkomende onderrigprogramme. Ten slotte word tegnieke en strategiee van VIGS-voorkoming en onderrig wat spesifiek op vroue as teikengroep gerig is, bespreek.
