Picture Codes for MSMs [Namibia]

Picture codes are materials that are used to stimulate a discussion about specific issues like behavior that puts people at risk of HIV infection.

The picture code has a photograph on one side showing people in different situations and on the other side has questions for the field worker to ask to stimulate a discussion. Underneath the questions are “talking points”or information the field worker can share with participants.

These pictures codes depict several situations such as alcohol and unsafe sex, negotiating condom use, multiple concurrent partnerships, transactional sex, HIV counseling and testing, and STIs.
