AB Over the past five years the Tanzanian-Norwegian AIDS Project (MUTAN)
has assisted the National AIDS Control Programme in creating and testing
innovative HIV/AIDS educational programmes. These programmes, designed
to reach a variety of target groups, have been implemented throughout
the Arusha and Kilimanjaro regions and include: public meetings,
intensive courses, information centres, radio programmes and
school-based programmes. A recent survey of 996 participants (15-54
years old) was designed to assess public exposure to HIV/AIDS
information. A total of 72% of the participants reported having heard
about AIDS on the radio, 74% having read about AIDS in newspapers, and
52% having heard about AIDS from a health worker during the previous
month. Furthermore, 26% had listened to MUTAN's weekly radio programme
at least once. 31% knew of MUTAN's information centres, and 15% had
visited one of these centres. The results indicate that large proportion
of the population is receiving in-depth HIV/AIDS information. It is
recommended that future work concentrate on how to reach people with no
or little formal education, young adults and women.
