Overview
When Manuela reached the village, she did not find any body at the meeting place, she decided to move around re mobilizing members, some of them were around and rest had gone to the mosque, Manuela waited until they came back from wherever they were. During the session, Manuela started by asking the members about the previous lessons that they learnt, some members tried to share their ideas. After that Manuela started by asking the members that what do they understand by the term precautions, no ideas, after seeing that no one was responding, Manuela explained to the community members that, it means that each and everyone has the potential of acquiring the virus and that means everybody must be careful because HIV has no cure.
