Men, youth and HIV messaging: targeting at-risk groups in Gauteng

he Sixth South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence, Behaviour and Communication Survey (SABSSM VI) highlights significant gaps in HIV treatment and awareness in Gauteng. For example, men and youth were less likely to engage in healthcare services and more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviours. Attendees of the Gauteng launch of the SABSSM VI results suggested that tailoring messaging and expanding messaging sources could help bridge these gaps and improve HIV outcomes across the province.
