HIV and AIDS & Treatment Literacy: Namibia Survey 2008: Main Report, July 2009, FHI et al.
The aim of the HIV and AIDS and Treatment Literacy (HTLS) Survey 2008 was to gather information from health care workers (HCW's), people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA), and children of HIV positive HIV and AIDS support group members, on HIV and AIDS-related issues for the purpose of project planning. The PLWHA sample included HIV-positive members f the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Quantitative data was athered on a range of issues including diagnosis and provision of treatment, access to and means of conveying information on ART, adherence to treatment, discrimination by HCWs, disclosure of HIV status to sexual partners, condom use, PLWHA having children, the concept of “Positive Living”, and social support for HIV positive individuals. Quantitative survey work was carried out during October/November 2008. Five focus group discussions with children of HIV positive HIV and AIDS support group members were held during October 2008. A key objective was to learn more about children whose parents are HIV positive, and who may also be infected themselves such as their level of awareness concerning their own and/or their parents’ status, as well as their own priorities and concerns.
This study was commissioned and supported by Family Health International/FABRIC , NawaLife Trust, Positive Vibes, the Social Marketing Association, and The Rainbow Project in Namibia.
