Abstract
This historical study assesses health education campaigns against
sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS in Mbozi district,
Tanzania, between 1980 and 2010. Archival and oral data collected in
Mbozi from 2008 to 2010 reveal that the campaigns have not had the
intended impact of preventing the spread of the diseases. This is in
part because the campaigns do not take into account the prevailing
socio-economic and cultural contexts. Nevertheless, there is an
increase of public awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and a
slight change of sexual behaviour. Thus, to improve on the current
campaigns, the stakeholders who are involved in intervention
campaigns against sexually transmitted diseases should take into
account the socio-economic and cultural environment.

sexuellement transmissibles et un léger changement de
