The impact of the First AIDS Kit, an AIDS and lifestyle education programme, on secondary school students' behavioural intentions, their knowledge of AIDS as well as attitude towards people with AIDS, was evaluated. The programme was presented by counselling teachers in 11 schools involving 339 students in Stds 6 to 9. The programme was evaluated by means of a questionnaire before and after the programme, as well as by focus group discussions with students and interviews with the presenters of the programme. Although the programme was not presented in ideal circumstances, it had a positive effect on students' knowledge of AIDS, their attitude towards people with AIDS and although not statistically significant, some aspects of their behavioural intentions. Students evaluated the programme positively, as preparing them for life and giving them more control over their lives. Students gave suggestions to improve the programme with regard to the content, presenter, educational techniques, role of parents and how to address moral issues. It is recommended that AIDS education should form part of long-term life skills and sex education and the focus should be on behavioural change. Community education and participation are also key elements in the effectiveness of school-based AIDS education programmes
