Abstract
South Africa as a country has a high HIV prevalence. Due to the fact that HIV transmission is predominantly heterosexual, HIV discordant couples are a high risk group for HIV. A number of HIV prevention interventions have been targeted at HIV discordant couples including HIV testing and counselling. An HIV prevention trial assessing the efficacy of daily acyclovir on HIV transmission among heterosexual HIV discordant couples was undertaken in South Africa. We conducted a before and after study with the aim of evaluating the effect of HIV counselling and condom provision on sexual behaviour of the heterosexual HIV discordant couples enrolled in this prevention trial.
