Abstract
The use of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) can help students to form
schemas for interpreting local phenomena through the prism of what they already
know. The formation of schemas related to HIV/AIDS risk perception and prevention
is important for individuals to form local meanings of the HIV /AIDS epidemic. The
objective of this study was to explore the indigenous names and symptoms of
HIY/AIDS among High School students in Namibia
