Phase 1 Report of the ABC study: Summary of HIV prevalence and sexual behaviour findings

USAID. August 2003.
The USAID-supported ABC study examines how prevention behaviours may have affected HIV prevalence as well as fertility patterns in three countries where HIV prevalence declined during the 1990s (Uganda, Zambia, Thailand) and in three countries where it appears not to have declined (Cameroon, Kenya, Zimbabwe).

The Study's "Phase 1" report compares levels and trends of behavioural indicators such as abstinence and age of sexual debut among youth, faithfulness in sexual relationships, multiple sexual partners, and condom use (especially with non-regular partners). These types of behaviours are often referred to collectively as the "ABCs" (for abstinencte, being faithful and condom use) of HIV prevention.
