Botswana, battling one of the world's highest HIV/ AIDS infection rates, has made major inroads in its campaign to fight the deadly epidemic through public education, a national survey shows. UNAIDS figures from the end of 2003 estimated 37.3 percent of Botswana's 15-49 year olds -- the measure used to compare the epidemic across countries -- were infected with HIV, narrowly better off than nearby Swaziland, which has the world's highest per capita infection rate at 38.8 percent.
