Funding for Sexual Prevention: Abstinence/Be Faithful (HVAB): $200,000

The Solidarity Center, in cooperation with a consortium of partners, proposes to implement a five-year HIV

prevention initiative in South Africa called "Be Faithful, Be Tested, Be Union." The Solidarity Center's

project partners are Engender Health and four of South Africa's largest and most influential unions. These

unions are the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa (NUMSA), the Police and Prisons Civil Rights

Union (POPCRU), Health and Other Service Personnel Trade Union of South Africa (HOSPERSA), and the

Congress of South African Trade Unions-Western Cape (COSATU-Western Cape). Over five years,

activities will be implemented in five provinces—Gauteng, Limpopo, and KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape and

Eastern Cape.

This project focuses on prevention, concentrates on workplaces, and enlists unions, businesses, and

communities. The project will assist four large and influential South African unions, and the workplaces and

communities in which their members labor and live, to achieve wide-reaching HIV prevention outcomes.

The project will address four critical HIV-related areas: counseling and testing, gender norm transformation,

workplace policy development and implementation, and increased institutional HIV-related capacity through

targeted technical assistance.

The main objective of this activity is to prevent HIV transmission using AB methods through safe and

healthy sexual behavior in HIV-infected and uninfected individuals, with emphasis on gender norm changes.
