“We need to declare war on this pandemic.
There is nothing that represents a bigger threat to
our lives than HIV/AIDS. It has wreaked havoc on
our population. I don’t know one family that has
been spared.”
Reverend Benjamin Walter Mpho Moruakgomo
African Methodist Episcopal Church in Botswana

UNFPA works in more than 140 countries, at
their request, assisting governments with the
creation of population strategies and policies.
Most UNFPA activities are at the country level.
HIV prevention efforts are often integrated
within ongoing programmes in reproductive
health, including ones focusing on family
planning and sexual health. They are also part
of the provision of male and female condoms
and a wide variety of information, education
and communication activities.
The epidemic differs dramatically from country
to country, which is why UNFPA supports
the analysis of demographic, social, economic,
cultural, behavioural and epidemiological
factors. Within countries, one community
may be greatly affected while others remain
relatively free of the virus, for the time being.
