Teachers Without Borders respects the extraordinary work of AIDS educators, doctors, and government agencies in Uganda. One of their particular strengths is the A-B-C approach (A: abstinence; B: be faithful; C: condoms), but only when incorporated into a comprehensive program - at all levels of society - of support for stemming the tide of HIV-AIDS. We understand some of the inconsistencies in the educational program, but see them more as problems of execution, correct context, follow-through, and support, i.e. the delivery of the message. We support the inherent value of abstinence, being faithful, and using condoms.

In this problem space, you will have access to the following materials: background information on HIV/AIDS, the original Markham et al. reference and other primary literature, viral sequences from each visit of each patient, patients' CD4 counts at each visit, phylogenetic trees of the virus sequences from each patient, a phylogenetic tree of each patient's starting consensus viral sequence, a published activity using this data from the book Microbes Count!, and additional materials prepared by other users of the problem space. You can use this data to explore a number of different questions. Here are a few general questions to get you started: Does the virus evolve the same way in different patients? Are there any specific mutations that cause rapid immune decline? What types of natural selection might be influencing HIV evolution? Is HIV being transmitted between patients after initial infection?

During 2005, Mikki van Zyl was contracted as a consultant to do action research on farm dwellers' perceptions and experiences of HIVAIDS in two districts of the Western Cape, South Africa. The research project was the first step in a provisional three-year process to develop and implement integrated strategic interventions for addressing HIVAIDS on farms through multi-stakeholder forums in the two districts. Employing a team of community researchers working in locally-run NGOs on HIV/AIDS, we used individual interviews, focus groups, case studies, researcher field notes, evaluations, and workshops for our dataset. The research process is presented as a case study, focusing on the context dynamics and challenges in conducting the research and preparing the groundwork for setting up the stakeholder forums.
