An investigation into the role and challenges faced by AIDS Councils in addressing HIV and AIDS in their communities: the case of the Ehlanzeni AIDS CouncilZitha, Sipho Siphiwosethu 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / The purpose of this study was to investigate the role and challenges of AIDS Councils
in addressing HIV and AIDS in their communities with regard to community
mobilization and advocacy within the broader advocacy function of the South African
National AIDS Council (SANAC) and within the framework of the HIV & AIDS and STI
Strategic plan for South Africa 2007-2011(NSP). A qualitative research design was
applied. Individual face to face interviews were conducted with the respondents who
were purposively sampled across the five local municipalities comprising Ehlanzeni
District Municipality.
Similar studies conducted previously suggest that many AIDS Councils stakeholders
and members had a limited understanding of their role, and encountered more
challenges in addressing HIV and AIDS in their communities. This study revealed that
stakeholders and members seem to have steadily progressed in understanding their
role as well as in weathering the various challenges they are confronted with within
the AIDS councils. Be that as it may, there still exists some gaps between what is
envisaged in both the NSPs (NSP 2000-2005 and NSP 2006-2011) and the current
situation in many LACs. Many questions still need to be answered if South Africans
are prepared to triumph over the AIDS pandemic. / Sociology / M.A. (Sociology (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV and AIDS))

The spatial distribution of HIV and AIDS in Gauteng, South AfricaEzike-Dennis, Uchechukwu Nneka 31 December 2007 (has links)
Since the earliest reported cases of HIV/AIDS probably in 1959 in Africa, there has been a
consistent progression in the new HIV/AIDS infection cases. In South Africa, Gauteng, records one
of the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rates in the country.
The Department of Health (DOH) South Africa conducts ongoing studies on HIV/AIDS at provincial
levels; these studies monitor the prevalence of HIV/AIDS amongst pregnant women attending
antenatal clinics, as a tool for determining and monitoring the prevalence, trends, patterns and
spread of the disease in the general population.
This study analyses sentinel and spatial data collected from the (DOH) and Statistics South Africa
(StatsSA) respectively, and depicts them in the form of spatial maps, and then critically analyses
the spatial patterns that occur.
The research findings would hopefully contribute to the overall knowledge of HIV/AIDS and provide
framework and relevant literature for further investigation. / Geography / M.Sc. (Geography)
