Mazonde told the delegates at a HIV/AIDS workshop in Harare that "there is evidence that people are beginning to know more about HIV/AIDS awareness campaign programmes". "Our major programme is information, education and communication whose purpose is to spread messages on protection and prevention," he was reported as saying. He said other programmes which were being implemented included prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV and community home-based care programme. He said that the government was in the process of introducing family health in the school curriculum to teach sex education in a "comfortable cultural approach".
