PROJECT OUTCOMES

As a result of this project, through awareness creation strategy, project target population have increased awareness, knowledge and skills on necessary precautions about HIV/AIDS transmission, able to abstain risky and unsafe sexual behaviours, prevent further transmission of the disease and hence reduce the infection rate of HIV/AIDS in Bukoba Municipal. Access and consistent use of condoms and the evidence about the efficacy and effectiveness of condoms in HIV prevention when used correctly and consistently have reduced the rate of HIV/AIDS among most at risk populations whereas promotion of IGA has catered for socio-economic needs of commercial sex workers and vulnerable women/youth living with HIV/AIDS hence reduction of impact of HIV/AIDS. Through promotion and strengthening of VCT and STI services there is an increase of people turning for early diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control, thus reduction of further transmission of HIV/AIDS, stigma and discrimination among the community stakeholders.
