A Loving Relationship - Finding It and Keeping It


Publication Date

June 1, 2009

Summary

This 16-page booklet was published as part of the OneLove campaign in Zimbabwe, which seeks to reduce HIV transmission by discouraging multiple concurrent partnerships and encouraging partner communication. The A Loving Relationship - Finding It and Keeping It booklet is designed to help couples talk to one another and improve their relationships. According to the publishers, research has shown that problems in a relationship may lead to risky sexual behaviour, which increases a couple's chance of getting HIV. This booklet contains information on how to effectively communicate within a relationship, and suggests that couples should read the information together.

The booklet includes the following contents:

  • Setting a firm foundation for your relationships
  • A case study of a couple who did not communicate their needs and what they could have done differently
  • HIV and You.
