Background Gugulethu is situated about 20 km from Cape Town and is arguably one of the oldest and fastest developing black townships in South Africa. 325,000 people (±88,000 HIV) HIV prevalence rate in the Gugulethu community is 27% (Bekker 2003 – Personal Communication)

Conclusion This study has addressed a SIMS for the management of HIV/AIDS in South Africa but there are certain areas that could be investigated and developed further. Instead of the HIV/AIDS database standing alone, other databases such as Tuberculosis, Malaria etc can be integrated into the SIMS.
