- In 2007/2008 about 204,000 people were living with HIV while in 2012/2013 it’s expected to increase to 247,000 people.
- 18.8% of Namibians are infected with HIV/AIDS, which translates to Namibia having the 5th highest prevalence rate in the world.
- There are about 39 new infections per day.
- 77% of all new infections are among young women.
- Approximately 5,400 people died of AIDS related causes in 2007/2008.
- The average cost of ARVs (anti retroviral drug treatments for people living with HIV/AIDS) is $200-300 US dollars per person per month.
- In contrast, 56% of the population of Namibia lives below $2 US dollars per day.
Sooo we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. One of the biggest challenges with HIV/AIDS in Namibia is the high rate of multiple concurrent relationships, meaning having more than one sexual relationship at a time. So over these next two days, our training will focus on HIV/AIDS in Namibia and how to teach prevention to community members, especially when we take into account multiple concurrent relationships. And at the end of it all, we’re going to go to a local school and present this information to children using flannel grams. Flannel grams is a felt board that helps to illustrate the impact of HIV/AIDS. It’s a hands on technique which really helps youth and adults better understand the impact that multiple concurrent relationships have on your health and your risk for being infected with HIV. I’m really excited to learn more about it and present it to the youth later in the week. This is right up my alley!
I was browsing the net and came across ur post. I find it very interesting that there so few in our communities who go their way just to educate the youngsters out ther. I'd just like to thank you for the work you are doing and for making our country an hiv/aids free environment.
ReplyDeleteMy life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work.
