Nearly 60 percent of the household
heads in HIV households were in the age
group of 20 to 50 years and in the case
of non-HIV households, this percentage
was lower at 53 percent (Table 3.2).
While about eight percent of the heads
of HIV households belonged to the
51-60 age group, only six percent of the
heads of non-HIV households were in
this age group. Only a small percentage
was above 60 years. Households with
heads aged less than 20 years were
negligible.
The sample mostly included households
whose heads had poor educational
background. The non-HIV household
heads were however comparatively
better educated than the HIV household
heads. About 28 percent of the HIV and 20
percent of the non-HIV household heads
