  • It is not related to the program activities
  • It is too broad and encompasses multiple aspects of HIV/AIDS knowledge
  • All of the above (correct)

    • If a program aims to increase access to antiretroviral treatment for pregnant women, which of the following would be a good indicator?

  • Number of radio campaigns conducted to promote HIV/AIDS awareness
  • Proportion of health facilities with adequate conditions to provide HIV/AIDS care
  • Percentage of the population with knowledge about HIV/AIDS transmission
