The attitudes and opinions expressed by the three women presented here are fairly representative of all the group interviewed. Letitia Laniyonu Posters put up in public places say that HIV is a killer disease. It is something that you can come in contact with by being promiscuous. Apart from that, I don't know what HIV really is.
Some people say it's a virus.
Some people say it's something else. From what I have heard on the radio and read in the papers, it looks as if each sex can pass it on. They say you can't get it unless you are in contact with somebody who already has it. I don't know if women could give it to men because we are really not well informed about this disease. Now, in my own rural area, I don't really see people getting HIV, because we don't have any of these modern opportunities.
