Comprehensive knowledge means knowing that consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse<br />

and having just one uninfected faithful partner can reduce the chance of getting HIV, knowing that a<br />

healthy-looking person can have HIV, and rejecting the two most common local misconceptions about<br />

AIDS transmission or prevention of HIV. The components of comprehensive knowledge are presented<br />

in Tables 13.1, and 13.2.<br />
