Social and Behavior Change Communication

Lyn's Comment:  Biomedical prevention obviously has a very important role in HIV prevention.  This includes prevention methods such as ART as preveniton, condoms, and hopefully in future also microbicides, vaccines etc

However, HIV has to do with behaviour - in many cases sexual behaviour is the main driver of HIV transmission.  Sexual behaviour is determined by complex individual, social and cultural factors.  In order to address these complex factors, social and behaviour change communication is necessary.
