Abstract
The study sought to determine the effectiveness of Implementing Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) interventions in higher tertiary institutions in Zimbabwe. The findings reveal that key contributing factors to effective interventions were; structures and resources, knowledge and awareness of HIV/AIDS, sexual behavioural practices and attitudes, perceptions and condom use. Also revealed is that abstinence, voluntary testing, counselling and continuous HIV/AIDS education are preferred prevention interventions. Correlation analysis shows significant positive relationships between the variables: knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and social norms on HIV/AIDS, influenced by the level of education, awareness and transmission modes
