Nearly 25% of the population is living with HIV and 14% are newly infected; AIDS is acknowledged as the major cause of death.

These approaches failed to stem the tide of HIV infection because they did not follow-up with the tracking of risky behaviours and the underlying causes

Their combined DALY contributions for Botswana would be significant if research and strategies in controlling these conditions are not put in place.

Botswana, a sub-Saharan African (SSA) country, has HIV as a leading health and developmental challenge. The government adopted male circumcision as one of the strategies to combat the infection.
