Zimbabwe's AIDS action programme for schools: a case study.
AIDS is the leading cause of death amongst adults in Zimbabwe and the major contributor to rising rates of infant, child and maternal mortality. About 9% of the population are HIV-positive and the number of orphans due to AIDS is projected to reach 600,000 by the year 2000. Around 90% of HIV transmission in Zimbabwe happens through heterosexual intercourse.
