![Page 5: Stop AIDS Love Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022418/58a2c25c1a28ab4a0f8c232f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Principles
• Build on lessons of other African countries• Strategic, phased approaches• Blend community level approaches with
mass media• Intervention should be informed by a
youthful perspective• Leverage activities and goodwill of groups
and individuals who are ready to act
![Page 6: Stop AIDS Love Life](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022418/58a2c25c1a28ab4a0f8c232f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Formative Research Key Findings
• Social Risks vs. Health Risks– Social risks of using prevention
perceived as greater than health risks of not using.
– Intervention needs to address social issues, linking to health behaviors
