Jackline Kezabu - Midsemester Report

Report for; 


Early Pregnancy and HIV / AIDS Prevention



Hello Madam, Thank you for the work that you are doing.
It was on 21st. Dec 2014 when we went to Lyamabwa sub-parish for a health talk on ways of transmission of HIV/AIDS and prevention of HIV/AIDS. We were welcomed by the parish priest and community members. They appreciated the work that we did and knowledge we equipped them with concerning their health matters through songs.
During the session we met the youth the elderly (‘between’ 35 – 70) and children (between 5-13 years) we taught them about the causes, ways of transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS.
Some community members participated by asking questions and we answered them accordingly, and where by Mr. James Byamukama asked about how can HIV/AIDS be spread through kissing? And one of my colleagues answered by saying, saliva does not transmit HIV, and it is very rare, but that when one partner is having sores with bleeding in the mouth, open-mouth kissing of infected person can lead to an uninfected person  contracting it.
At the end of the session people thanked us and also asked that if we can keep on going and share with them knowledge concerning their health matters and they also said that our outreach as of their great benefit and we also benefited because they learnt what they never knew.
 And this is how we spent thought the day!
