over this period. The probability of first intercourse for 15-19 year old males also
declined in urban and rural Zambia, but not as significantly as that of females. The
results are the same for Uganda. In Burkina Faso, another country in which a
multisectoral HIV/AIDS program was implemented early on, the probability of first
intercourse for males and females declined over time in rural areas but no significant
changes were identified in the urban areas.
The probability of using a condom at their most recent intercourse for
females increased significantly overtime in the urban areas of all countries except
Kenya and Nigeria. Condom use among females in rural areas also increased,
especially in Zambia and Uganda but actually decreased in Kenya and Nigeria
between 1998 and 2003. For males, condom use increased over time in all countries
except for Kenya. Both Kenya and Nigeria joined the World Bank MAP and
implemented a multisectoral program in 2001. Although thorough results of the
MAP by country are scarce, interviews that I conducted with World Bank experts
revealed that Kenya and Nigeria both experienced problems early on due to a strictly
committed health minister and a highly populated environment respectfully.10
Finally, for females, the effects of education and wealth reveal that more
education decreases the likelihood of intercourse with multiple partners in
Mozambique, Nigeria, Uganda, and Zambia. However, for males, higher education
increases the likelihood of promiscuity in all countries except for Uganda, Zambia,
and Kenya. In the case of wealth; more assets decreases the likelihood of intercourse

| Abstract | The proposed dissertation offers an explanation for the large differences in HIV/AIDS rates among 89 low and middle-income countries throughout the Sub Saharan African, Asian, and Latin American regions over a ten-year period (1995-2005). The HIV/AIDS rates in these countries vary widely and seemingly independently of economic wealth. One possible determinant of these differences is the presence and degree of development of strong multisectoral programs aimed at both prevention and cure of HIV/AIDS. The main hypothesis for this dissertation is: "A country's success in combating HIV/AIDS lies in the government's ability to implement an effective multisectoral program." This hypothesis is explored through quantitative models using data from the ten-year period (1995-2005). Results show that the presence of a multisectoral program over the ten-year period is associated with a significantly lower HIV/AIDS incidence rate by 2005. This effect is produced by controlling for various political, economic, societal, and institutional factors. Although there is some anecdotal evidence which suggests that multisectoral programs help to improve the HIV/AIDS problem in developing countries, there has been little if any empirical work done on this subject to date. |
