HIV/AIDS Formative and Capacity Assessment: A Guide to Enhance Preventive Measures on HIV/AIDS

Abstract

Formative and capacity building assessment is a community based intervention geared towards the growing global HIV/AIDS epidemic [3]. Formative assessment is useful to determine the level of knowledge, perception, education, sexual behaviours and awareness of HIV/AIDS prevention measures among the most at risk populations. While capacity building response [4] focus on attitude of health care providers towards HIV/AIDs patients to identify poor practices in HIV/AIDS service provision. This will improve HIV/AIDS counselling services [3] and sexual health behaviours [5] to enhance preventive measures for effective and comprehensive response to HIV/AIDS.
