The study's starting point is the cultural, economic, social and health which is relevant when different levels of society affirms. The aim has been the basis of the representation levels of society discern what is valued and given priority as well as the measures and the strategies used in implementation. The empirical data underlying the study is qualitative studies with respondents from a university, a hospital, a school, the Swedish Embassy and an organization in order to create an image of different levels in society means to implement preventive measures on HIV and AIDS to their citizens.   The result demonstrates that there are clear shortcomings in its implementation guidance on prevention measures for HIV and AIDS as lack of resources is based. The various respondents' strategies and priorities are benevolent, and in many cases their methods are working. However, there are also cases where the approach is not always the most effective. Respondents themselves are aware of their own problems and trying to maintain a critical approach to continuously improve their prevention work on HIV and AIDS. Reasons for this are as mentioned before, lack of resources but problems can also be found in all the country's inhabitant’s diverse of economic and cultural backgrounds. The work therefore needs to be done with the dynamic nature and allow a change to every area where prevention is done. Something that affects everyone's work on HIV and AIDS is that South Africa's leaders are now responding to the problems that exist in the country and take responsibility, raising a great hope for its citizens. The study also shows that there are significant differences depending on whether people live in cities, suburbs or country. All respondents agree that the most important thing in the country’s HIV/ AIDS problem is to provide their citizens with knowledge and skills so that they are prepared for a life with HIV or AIDS but also to stop that the spread happens. In order to solve all the problems associated with the epidemic, it is a long way to go but thanks to the country's leaders are taking responsibility to grow faith in the future. Most importantly is that all citizens take their responsibility if the problems of HIV and AIDS is ever to be solved.
