HIV PREVENTION - THE NEED FOR A COUNSELLOR
PREVENTIVE COUNSELLING- Involves determining whether the lifestyle and behaviour of individual or group of individuals presents them with a risk of HIV infection working with them so that they come to understand the risks, helping to identify and define the true potentials for behaviour changes and then working to achieve and sustain appropiate and chosen changes in behaviour.
COUNSELLING- is the proces of encouraging and enhancing self determination, boosting self confidence and working with the patient to maintain motivation for optimum changes in behaviour through creating a supportive and trusting relationship. It also provides help for those facing the tremendous uncertainties and stress associated with having HIV. such stresses can lead to episodic or continual physiological morbidity in those infected and in their loved ones and careers.
WHY IS COUNSELLING NECESSARY?
Absence of counselling leads to:
Severe, chronic physiological and psychiatric disturbance. Harm resulting from fear of death in affected persons.
Conclusively, preventive counselling is a process of making general health education messages personally relevant so that individuals can through a continuing personal relationship with a counsellor respond in an individual way to health education that they might otherwise regard as unrealistic or of little personal importance.
The spread of the scourge can be so easily prevented by changes in behaviour which can be made when there is a trusting and supportive relationship with a counsellor.

We have contacted several bodies overseas who said their projects to Africa only had to do with the southern parts where HIV/AIDS is highest. We expect little or nothing from a country in which corruption and deception have become the order of the day.
