Figure 13. Eligible Adults with No HIV Prevention Knowledge, Disaggregated by Sex It is possible that some women deny knowledge of HIV prevention, possibly because they do not feel comfortable discussing it. It is impossible to know how much of the sex differences reported in Figures 11 and 12 result from this phenomenon versus actual lack of knowledge. Since the questions about prevention strategies are skipped if the respondent says s/he does not know if there are any ways to prevent HIV infection, such denial would artificially lower the overall knowledge scores of women. When asked if a respondent has ever been tested for HIV, the majority of residents in Mbushi (68%) and Makao (73%) reported yes while most in Iramba Ndogo (53%) and Sapa (56%) reported no. Women in Mbushi and Makao were more likely to have tested for HIV and men were more likely in Iramba Ndogo and Sapa. 4.6 Nutrition and Food Security 4.5.6 Household Nutrition Diversity of daily diets and consistent intake of recommended vitamins and nutrients is limited. On average, households ate 4.20 to 5.62 different types of food in a week, ranging from 1 to 11 among surveyed villages. Grains and green vegetables are the most commonly consumed food in all four villages. Grains are eaten almost daily as residents state that they ate grains 7 times per week in Makao, 6.93 times per week in Mbushi, 6.85 times per week in Sapa and 6.82 times per week in Iramba Ndogo. Consumption of green vegetables ranged from 4.8 times per week in Iramba Ndogo to 5.6 times per week in Makao. Other food types such as meat protein and legumes were generally consumed 1 to 3 times per week (see Table 14). 30 Results and Discussion | Whole Village Project – Meatu District, January 2011
Figure 14. Average Number of Different Foods Consumed in the Last 7 Days 4.5.7 Infant and Young Child Feeding Optimal infant and young child (age 6-23 months) feeding practices (IYCF) include: early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months, continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond, timely introduction of complementary feeding at 6 months, frequency of feeding solid/semisolid foods, and the diversity of food groups fed to children 6-23 months. All infants and young children were breastfed in the surveyed villages; however, between 11% and 18% were exclusively breastfed for their first 6 months. The plurality of infants stopped exclusive breastfeeding at more than 3 months and less than 6 months in Sapa (49%), Mbushi (47%), Iramba Ndogo (38%) and Makao (35%). On average, infants were weaned altogether at 21.5 months in Makao, 19.3 months in Sapa, 19.2 months in Iramba Ndogo and 19.0 months in Mbushi. 4.5.8 Under-Five Nutrition The most commonly eaten foods by children under five in the last 24 hours in households surveyed are listed in Figure 15. (Percentages labeled in Figure 15 indicate the most commonly eaten food by children under five in that village.) 31 Results and Discussion | Whole Village Project – Meatu District, January 2011
