Here are some things you can do to celebrate World AIDS Day:

1. Cut the sexual network – Make a commitment to have only one love and to be faithful to that partner. If having one partner is not possible (e.g. you’re in a polygamous marriage), make a commitment not to increase the number of your partners and for all partners to be faithful.

2. Know your status – Go to your nearest health centre and take the HIV test, so you know your status. You will be better able to protect yourself and to care for yourself if you know your status.

3. Protect yourself - Use condoms every time you have sex if you do not know your HIV status. You should also use condoms if you and your partner have not made the commitment to be faithful to each other.

4. Talk to the people in your life about love, sex and HIV – Maybe you are very well-informed about HIV and AIDS, and you are already doing the above activities. In that case, it is time to take things a step further and talk to them about cutting their sexual networks, getting tested for HIV and how to protect themselves from getting HIV.
