If you teach in anagency school you should be able to find a copy of their policy.Self study: Find a copy of your church HIV policy if they have one. Analyse thepolicy. What are the key values and behavioural messages? What will it mean to youwhen you are teaching?25
Topic 4: Prevention of HIV and STIs4.1 Prevention of HIV and STIsThere are many ways of reducing the spread of HIV and other STIs in ourcommunities, homes and schools. HIV is a preventable disease. The mostimportant way of avoiding infection with HIV is behaviour change.• Having fewer sexual partners• Being faithful to your husband/wife (they need to be faithful to you too andyou both need to be HIV negative so you will need an HIV blood test)• Safer sex (using a condom every time you have sex or not having penetrativesex)• Not having sex too young/getting married too young or for the wrong reasons• Not having sex while drunk• Not using sex workers• Not raping women, forcing them to have sex or being a “sugar daddy” (anolder man giving gifts to a younger woman in return for sex)• Getting an HIV blood test and STI testOther methods of prevention of HIV are:• Only breastfeeding for the first 6 months (or until the baby starts eatingmashed food)• Sterilize blades and needles in boiling water or neat bleach when skin cuttingor tattooing• Avoid blood in fights and accidents• A man who is fully circumcised (all the foreskin removed) has a lower risk ofcontracting HIV or passing on HIV during unprotected sex. He should still usea condom.• Taking antiretroviral medicine if you are HIV positive reduces the chance oftransmitting the virus (e.g. HIV-positive pregnant mothers should take ART)• Rape victims can be given ART to prevent infection from the rapist. This iscalled post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and needs to be given as soon aspossible after the rape.Blood transfusions in PNG should be safe because the blood is screened.4.2 ABCDThis is the Department’s message for changing people’s behaviour (and is also in thePersonal Development Syllabus, HIV/AIDS Policy and Secretary’s Circular No.42/2007).A = abstain from penetrative sex or abstain from sex before marriage or abstainfrom sex when you are away from your partnerB = both be faithful to your sexual partner and both get testedC = use a condom correctly every time you have sexD = delay the time of first sex (delay the time you lose your virginity)A and C are appropriate for many young people. Young women’s vaginas are not asstrong, for example, and more likely to be damaged during sex.B and C are appropriate for sexually active adults.26
