This guidance document arose from recognition of the need for regional guidance on the principles and good practice for MCP campaigning to assist national programs -- in particular, to strengthen HIV prevention efforts for MCP reduction. Programming for MCP is complex and some issues are not yet completely understood, including the best ways to measure MCP, the relative importance of concurrent as opposed to multiple partnerships in general, and how MCP messaging should relate to other aspects of HIV prevention. Nonetheless, countries are seeking guidance now, and this document aims to provide basic guidance that can be built on and elaborated over time.--Strategic Considerations for Communications on Multiple and Concurrent Partnerships within Broader HIV Prevention in Southern Africa.
