The purpose of the interviews was to establish how their perceptions contribute to the fight against the disease and with regard to the role of social environment to design of HIV/ AIDS training programmes in rural areas. In order to determine the exact view of the community, the respondents were asked several questions based on HIV/ AIDS training programmes. The main aim of the investigation was to discuss how perceptions of community members on the role of the social environment could impact on the design of HIV/ AIDS training programmes in rural areas.

In rural areas for example matters related to HIV/ AIDS is regarded by majority as taboo since these communities are influenced by their own cultural beliefs and traditions.
