Abstract

The evaluation of the Africa Project investigates barriers to and resources of the utilisation of HIV-prevention services by African migrants. A KAP study evaluates knowledge, attitudes and practice of an African sample population (n = 214). Results show that gender and cultural-psychological factors influence the perception of ways of infection and protection such as condom use and thereby determine the prerequisites for HIV prevention.
