''...I saved the poor who called out and the orphan who had no one to help.The dying person blessed me,and I made the widow's heart sing for joy...I was eyes to the blind and the feet for the lame.
I was like a father to needy people and I took the side of strangers who where in trouble and I broke the fangs of evil people and snatched the captives from their teeth ''

JOB 29:12-17

Infection with HIV/AIDS are urgent problems in Zambia with broad implications.Although transmission of the HIV are many, sexual intercourse is the predominant mode of transmission.
