Abstract
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is anti-development. It robs society of the resources that are
akin to development. The MIPA is one of the programmes that have been put in place to help curb
the pandemic in Zimbabwe. However, little appears to have been said about the effectiveness of the
programme in Matobo District in Matebeleland South in Zimbabwe. This study evaluates the
implementation of the programme. A mixed research design was used in the study. Semi-structured
questionnaires were used in data collection. The theoretical framework of the study is a
combination of the disclosure and the consequence theories of HIV/AIDS. The study concludes that
implementation of the MIPA strategy in the district is not effective.
