One Love: Talk, Respect, Protect [Pamphlet, Lesotho]

The program “Relationships: Intimacy without Risk” includes a facilitator’s guide, training manual, and materials to train local Sesotho facilitators to carry out discussion sessions that aim to stimulate deeper dialogue and discussion around relationship issues, such as concurrency and the risks of HIV. There are also videos for group discussion, and movie nights and games for couples.

The first of its kind in Lesotho, this program provides for a series of conversations among groups of adults that relate to HIV/AIDS prevention. During the conversations, participants reflect on how they can improve their relationships and sexual lives without taking on extra lovers.

This pamphlet explains the dangers of having too many sexual partners. It provides several examples of what happens when one has more than one partner, related to HIV/AIDS and STIs. The end of the pamphlet describes what one can do to keep safe, including talking to one’s partner, knowing one’s HIV status and always using condoms, and respecting one’s partner.
