  • Chapter
Book cover Picturing Research

Abstract

Lesotho has the third highest HIV prevalence in the world with 260,000 out of 2,000,000 people, most of them still in school, living with HIV and AIDS. Of these people, 56% are women (UNAIDS, 2008). Education has been described as a ‘vaccine’ against HIV and AIDS (Coombe, 2003) because of relatively lower rates of HIV infection among people with higher levels of educational participation.
