18.8 DISCUSSION ABOUT HIV/AIDSIn the SDHS, children age 12-14 were also asked whether they discussed the topic of HIV/AIDSwith their caregiver, parents, friends, or any other person. Table 18.12 provides the results. One in threechildren had discussed HIV/AIDS with parents or caregivers and 31 percent discussed it with otherchildren.
