“…43 Providing sexual risk reduction counseling and ongoing support to discordant couples has also been shown to be an effective strategy for reducing sexual risk behavior among discordant couples. [44][45][46] While most participants (77%) reported consistent condom use during the past 90 days, participants who were categorized as likely dependent drinkers or who reported experiencing an STI symptom were more likely to report inconsistent condom use. Moreover, desire for pregnancy was negatively associated with consistent condom use, even after adjusting for knowledge of partner's HIV status.…”

“…Various interventions have been implemented by the health system to combat HAST at primary, secondary and tertiary levels, and these range from prevention to treatment (Colvin et al 2010). This includes testing and screening for HIV and TB in order to enrol those with positive results into wellness, treatment, care and support programs, and to prevent further transmission of these infections (Kennedy, Medley, Sweat, & O'Reilly, 2010); (HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) Policy guidelines 2010). These interventions all rely on suitably trained staff and adequate resources to ensure that they can be implemented, with counselling forming an important component.…”

Background: HIV and AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and tuberculosis (TB) are common co-infections in South Africa, and constitute major public health problems. Nurses have frequent contact with HIV positive and TB co-infected patients, their counselling behaviour being influenced by knowledge about counselling as well as their beliefs, attitudes and perceptions about barriers to counselling.Purpose: The purpose of the survey was to assess the knowledge, attitude and beliefs of nurses about behavioural counselling for HIV and AIDS, STIs and TB (HAST) in three areas of the eThekwini Municipality.Results: This was a quantitative descriptive cross sectional study, with stratified sampling being used to select 87 nurses from 24 PHC facilities who completed self-administered questionnaires. The most significant factors associated with the knowledge, attitude and beliefs of nurses about counselling behaviour were their age and level of education. Nurses were well informed about counselling behaviour (mean scores 4.1/5). However, the potential barriers to implementing effective counselling behaviour included their negative perceptions about counselling in HAST.Conclusion: There is an urgent need for further studies to explore barriers to counselling behaviour and how these can be addressed by the nurses and their managers.

But the pattern and distribution of HIV greatly varies by various parameters like region, place of residence and sex. Even though it is a public health problem of all segment of the population, the epidemic among youth and economically active segment of the community is the fastest growing partly because of young people's vulnerability and because of low use of preventive services like correct and consistent condom use.
