BOTSWANA




 A former colony of Britain

 Independence on 30th September 1966

 Has had one of the fastest growing economies in the Africa
Botswana is the world’s
largest producer of diamonds
 Botswana is known for the incredible beauty of its
  wild life

 Safaris are important source of income
 But...this fast booming economy is
 being threatened by the HIV/AIDS
 epidemic
As of 2006, Botswana has
the second highest rate of
HIV/AIDS in the world.

Almost 300,000 people
are infected with the
virus, 24.1% of the
population!
• First case reported in 1985
  • Botswana’s response to the epidemic can be
    divided into three stages:




 Stage 1 (1987-1989): Eliminate the risk of transmission
  through blood transfusion
   Pledge 25
 Stage 2 (1989-1997): Response was focused on
  information, education and communication programs
   The country was bombarded with HIV messages, condom
    distribution boxes and AIDS awareness signs
   No behavioural change observed
 Stage 3 (1997 – present): Response was expanded in
  many ways to include education, prevention and
  comprehensive care/providing antiretroviral treatment
Stage 3

 Prevention - of mother-to-child transmission

 Education – Target the right message to the right
  people
   Younger generations – art festivals, TV and radio
    dramas, group discussions
   High-risk adult populations – diamond miners, sex
    workers
Treatment – a national
antiretroviral therapy
program named MASA
was implemented.
   -Goal of MASA was
   to provide
   antiretrovirals to all
   those in need of the
   medication
 Miss HIV Stigma Free beauty
  pageant
Summary of Stage 3 response :

1. Targeting the right people

2. Improving of blood safety

3. Prevention of mother -to-child transmission

4. National ARV therapy program
Why does Botswana still
 have the second highest
  HIV/AIDS rate in the
          world
           ?
