N2  - Cultural factors have been shown to play a role in human decision making and behaviour. The main objective of this study was to identity and evaluate the possible influence of Shangaan cultural beliefs, myths, and practices on the spread of HIV within the Mnisi tripe. A qualitative method of investigation was followed and interviews were conducted with three participants. Observations as well as a questionnaire were used. Two cultures, or patterns, influencing the spread of HIV in the Mnisi tribe were identified, namely : (1) the culture of power, and (2) the culture of poverty. The implementation of community and culture specific strategies to combat the spread of HIV is recommended
