Are HotSpots in Bulawayo neccessary?

The hot spot analysis project provides a prospect to review and analyse populations at greatest risk of HIV/AIDS infection, population being left out by current interventions and geographic hotspots. This project is an Inter-agency programme between (Ministry of Health and Child Care, NAC, UNAIDS and WFP), an initiated discussion to identify the HIV hotspots in Zimbabwe through analysis of the available datasets and present the findings in a series of high quality maps and charts. By conducting the HIV hot spot analysis and identifying the hotspots, will assist in future programming and interventions strategies. A detailed Desktop review of peer reviewed documents, surveys and published articles was conducted. However, this project does not give detailed discussion on the selected indicators why?

The project explores the HIV Hotspots through the identification of HIV drivers in Zimbabwe, incidence, HIV prevalence and the measures (interventions) that have been put in place to curb new incidences. At the same time, the same project tries to understand the impacts of HIV on the economy and on food security (at country, household and individual levels).
 
With this in mind, will the creation of hotspots in Bulawayo accelerate the decrease of HIV prevalence in the province? If so how?  Let's engage!
