Activity 1.2: R<strong>is</strong>k Continuum<br />
Section 1: <strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>HIV</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>?<br />
Activity Outline<br />
Objective: At the end of the activity, the participants know modes of <strong>HIV</strong> transm<strong>is</strong>sion.<br />
Duration/Timing: 35 minutes<br />
Materials/Resources: Annex 4 PowerPoint presentation or pictures depicting<br />
activities, 3 signs with high-r<strong>is</strong>k, low-r<strong>is</strong>k <strong>and</strong> no-r<strong>is</strong>k. (You can also use the<br />
information below to make your own PPT).<br />
5 minutes Split the group into 3 smaller groups <strong>and</strong> give each group a sign (high r<strong>is</strong>k,<br />
low r<strong>is</strong>k, no r<strong>is</strong>k).<br />
30 minutes 1. Introduce activity. When you show each picture, give groups a minute to<br />
decide whether the activity <strong>is</strong> high r<strong>is</strong>k, low r<strong>is</strong>k or no r<strong>is</strong>k of transm<strong>is</strong>sion.<br />
2. Call time. Ask groups to shout out the answer. If there are two answers<br />
being given, ask participants to explain. Correct any myths or incorrect<br />
information.<br />
3. Explain to the group that behaviour change <strong>is</strong> very complex. It <strong>is</strong> not just<br />
about eliminating r<strong>is</strong>k but reducing r<strong>is</strong>k too. For example, reducing the<br />
number of sexual partners you have. If you have multiple concurrent<br />
partners, you are at greater r<strong>is</strong>k of contracting a sexually transmitted<br />
d<strong>is</strong>ease, which puts you at r<strong>is</strong>k of <strong>HIV</strong> infection.<br />
