Mshihiri; sijakuelewa kabisa- nadhani mawazo yako ni ya juu sana ndio maana sikuelewi- ila nitakupa fact rahisi kabisa- common sense ambayo mtu yeyote mwenye IQ above room temperature apaswa kujua!
How condom can prevent HIV transmission/acquisition-
1) Directly kwa ku-act kama barrier kati ya seminal fluid ya mwanaume na vaginal fluid.
2) Condom zina-prevent STD (sexually transmitted diseases)- magonjwa haya kama gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis na Herpes n.k husababisha inflammation (uvimbe na/ama michubuko) na/au ulceration- ni wazi ukiwa na inflammation na ulcers inaongeza urahisi wa kuambukizwa HIV, kwa hiyo kwa ku-prevent STD indirectly una-prevent HIV;
Je, umenipata kidogo? references ziko kibao sio stories za watu;
Kuhusu kupungua kwa prevalence ya HIV Tanzania pia sio story; hapa chini naambatanisha jedwali la matokeo ya THIS II bado sijaiona ikiwa published, ila hii ilikuwa ni personal communication na wahusika wa tafiti hizi.
Attached please find the population survey results on HIV in this Tanzania (2007/08). This is the second time that the Tanzania HIV Indicator Survey (THIS) has been done the first was done in 2003/04.
