2. THE PROJECT OF HIV/AIDS CARE SUPPORT

HIV/AIDS IN IRINGA MUNICIPAL:

The first case of HIV, the virus that cause AIDS was recorded in 1985 in the Municipal and since then Iringa Region as whole is said to have some of the highest HIV/AIDS cases in Tanzania.

The figures from Iringa Municipal indicate that HIV/AIDS cases increase on an average of 15.9% per year. Ovarall 39.8% men are infected compared to 60.2% of women. The deadly disease is shaping the demographic structure. Women have a greater probability of contracting the infection and more likely to die from it earlier. Additionally, it should be also noted that on average 24.5% of those infected die annually. The death rate for men and women is 9.8% and 14.7% respectively.

The question here is what explains this trend of HIV/AIDS in Iringa Municipal. Officials in Municipal cite several reasons for the situations. First Iringa Municipal lies on the main road from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya and beyond to neighboring countries of Malawi, Zambia, and Democratic Republic of Congo. It is a centre of truck drivers. Second the Municipal is also a centre of fish traders from Mtera Dam. Third there are a lot of immigrants from rural areas looking for green pastures. Fourth because of poverty, a lot of young women have joined prostitution to earn an income. To be sure unequal power relationships do disadvantage women and young girls are particularly vulnerable. Fifty, local beliefs such as engaging sex with young girls can lead to richness has exposed a lot young girls to unsafe sex. And finally there is lack of education to create awareness among the population on AIDS. (Iringa region 2009)
