Individual knowledge was collected on HIV/AIDS, Gender based violence, sexual practices, attitudes towards condoms use and HIV/AIDS and personal experience with gender based violence as well as Marriages and Cohabiting relations. Findings: The study found high levels of awareness and knowledge on Gender Based violence (98%) and HIV transmission (76- 98%) respectively. The study found that 90% of females interviewed thought Gender based violence in Zambia was a serious problem with 92 % saying men who beat their wives were breaking the law.

Conclusions: The study concluded that there were high knowledge levels of HIV and high awareness of gender based violence among the females in the study. Gender Based Violence increases vulnerability of women to risk HIV infection by reducing ability to negotiate safe sex.
