KNOWLEDGE OF SERVICES<br />
Knowledge of STI education, treatment <strong>and</strong> support<br />
19.2% of the participants <strong>in</strong>dicated that Government agencies such as AIDS secretariat<br />
would be a good place <strong>to</strong> get <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation, treatment <strong>and</strong> support. 7.8% <strong>in</strong>dicated private<br />
agencies like private doc<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>and</strong> labora<strong>to</strong>ries, 36.8% <strong>in</strong>dicated NGO’s like 3H, 2.6%<br />
<strong>in</strong>dicated churches <strong>and</strong> 33.3% <strong>in</strong>dicated other <strong>and</strong> further mentioned CHAA <strong>and</strong> AIDS<br />
Secretariat.<br />
Upon reflection this question should have been broken down <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> separate sections <strong>for</strong><br />
education, treatment <strong>and</strong> support <strong>and</strong> a better classification should have been given <strong>to</strong> the<br />
respondents s<strong>in</strong>ce clearly some of them did not necessarily know that CHAA was<br />
considered NGO, etc.<br />
