About this title

Synopsis

The issue of HIV/AIDS is a current area of discourse .The potential effects of the most productive age group and thereby on the economy is fully recognized. What is not given a due emphasis is, perhaps to investigate and demonstrate how GIS technology can be optimized for the management and monitoring of HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia. The central idea is to make the fight against HIV/AIDS pro- active. GIS and Mapping technology are used to graphically represent the data and derive relations between the transmission sites and other parameters. This paper attempt to explore the powers of simple thematic mapping and map query. Thematic mapping and query when combined with simple functions offered by most GIS software become an unmatched combination of technology to provide valuable solutions to the complex problems faced by health authorities today.
