Dear Laura Potter
I strongly agree with you that there is a shift in focus between recruiting high risk population and low risk population. The biggest challenge is how does one distinguish between a low risk and high risk behaviour. Many people consider Christians population as a low risk population due to their emphasize on “no sex before marriage”. The issue here is before people took a decision not to engage in sexual activities, how did they behave in the past? Secondly, it is even worse when people do not know their HIV status. I strongly agree with you, we need to strike a balance between these two concepts
