Description PSI/Rwanda’s HIV prevention program was launched in 1993 alongside the socially marketed condom Prudence. PSI is working with PLHIV through RRP+, a Rwandan Partner Organization (RPO) providing PLHIV with prevention services to live positively and understand their responsibilities in secondary prevention of HIV. For a family which wants to give birth, it is imperative to know they have to comply with prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) guidelines and
deliver at the health center or at the hospital. This study aims to identify and understand the lived experiences and sexual practices (of PLHIV) as well as understand the psychosocial factors which influence WHAT?, in order to inform future programmatic decision-making. This qualitative study consisted of 20 in depth interviews with individuals from ten PLHIV associations who self identified themselves as PLHIV. The PLHIV associations were purposely selected and its members stratified by exposed versus non-exposed so that the sample included ten respondents exposed to BCSM interventions and ten respondents not exposed to BCSM interventions.
