HIV and Sexual Behaviour Among Young South Africans: A National Survey Of 15-24 Year Olds
download pdf

It is difficult to attribute the impact of loveLife as distinct from the effects of other national HIV prevention campaigns.

For this reason there are two main objectives of this National Evaluation: the first objective is to identify trends in HIV infection and related determinants of infection among young people. The second objective is to try and gauge the relative impact of loveLife on HIV and related risk behaviours. This National Youth Survey is the first of three such studies to be conducted at approximately two year intervals over the expected duration of the loveLife initiative, to track changes in HIV prevalence and sexual behaviour among South African youth. The aims of this initial study are to:

  • 15- 24 years establish the prevalence of HIV and related behaviours among young people aged
  • assess young people's sexual attitudes
  • examine the extent of young people's exposure to loveLife
  • undertake this data collection with sufficient accuracy to permit monitoring of trends over time
