 AB    OBJECTIVE: To highlight the influence that violence and the issue of
       current elections have on the work of NGO's and AIDS. METHOD: A review
       of the health position of political parties to investigate whether the
       health issues especially AIDS are appropriately addressed. An analysis
       of the positions will be made and appropriate proposals forwarded
       through the relevant channels. DISCUSSION: Violence impedes the work on
       AIDS at grassroots level and the coming elections will compound the
       situation. NGO's are concerned about the present government's view and
       commitment regarding the prevention of AIDS and the funding thereof as a
       national health priority. RECOMMENDATION: During the post-election era
       efforts of the elected government should be focused on the prevention
       and education of AIDS.
