dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: The decreased uptake of HIV Testing by women when their husbands, or partners, know of the intention to do the HIV Test is a practical problem that was being addressed in this research paper. The between-participants questionnaire survey research design was used. Focus Group Interviews were contacted with homogenous group of women. One was at a Suburban Local Clinic with a group of nurses. Another focus group discussion was at a Suburban District Office with a group of People Living with HIV/AIDS. The discussions were done to inform a questionnaire for the questionnaire instrument. Statistical testing was applied on the data for significance testing. The research revealed that men decrease the tendency of their wives, or partners, to take up HIV Testing.en_ZA
