 AB    OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of a horizontal programme where
       AIDS Education is integrated with community activities for the youth.
       METHODS: An AIDS education/awareness programme was developed a total of
       80 youths age range 12-20 years were randomly sampled--20 from each clan
       of Secondary School going category. The programme was integrated with
       other social community activities during holidays. RESULTS: The level of
       HIV/AIDS awareness rose dramatically as exhibited in the number of songs
       composed about AIDS (i) The devastating mature of AIDS (ii) Safe sex or
       complete abstinence from sex before marriage etc CONCLUSION: Adolescents
       can readily learn about AIDS and other issues, if AIDS education
       programmes are integrated into some of their favourite activities.
       Evidence of quick learning was seen especially when it was not very
       obvious that awareness was being created. Other communities in the
       developing countries could emulate integrated intervention programmes to
       save their youths.
