The HIV prevalence rate in Ghana is rapidly approaching the threshold of 5%.
Over 400,000 people have attended the "Stop AIDS. Love Life" roadshow live performances, which use an entertainment/education format. Conducted in over 120 cities and towns, performances typically attract an audience of 4,000.
Daytime audio presentations, nighttime video shows, and question-and-answer sessions have reached 4 million Ghanians, mostly in rural areas.
Materials have been distributed through the Ministry of Health and hundreds of NGOs, church and community groups throughout the nation. Materials produced to date include 2 million leaflets, 100,000 question-and-answer booklets, 50,000 stickers, 30,000 posters, 10,000 t-shirts, 10,000 caps, and 45 billboards nationwide.
Accoring to a UNAIDS report published in Ghana, 92% of males and 98% of females reported having seen the yellow hand (harbinger of the campaign) and readily associate it with the campaign. Between 80% and 90% of people interviewed in 5 towns throughout the nation reported having seen or heard the campaign.
Ghana Social Marketing Foundation (GSMF) sells approximately 1,000,000 condoms per month, as compared to 300,000 per month before the programme began. Programme organisers claim that there are no other changes in the national programme that could account for this increase.
