Witches, Westerners, and HIV
A witch's curse, an imperialist conspiracy, a racist plot—HIV/AIDS is a catastrophic health crisis with complex cultural dimensions. From small villages to the international system, explanations of where it comes from, who gets it, and who dies are tied to political agendas, religious beliefs, and the psychology of devastating grief. Frequently these explanations conflict with science and clash with prevention and treatment programs. In Witches, …

To Disclose or Not to Disclose, That is the Question! Antiretroviral Therapy, Access to Resources and Stigma in Southern Africa

Their enrolment in treatment programmes gives them access to resources provided by national and international organisations, but because these resources are insufficient for their households to make ends meet, they also rely on resources available through traditional means, such as social n…

Fals-Borda argues that PAR encourages value-driven and collaboratively-conducted research …
Aids Is in the Food
This article discusses the shift in Zimbabwe from the traditionally broad and diversified diet, consisting of a variety of wild plants and animals, to the current diet, based on a few cash crops. The narrowing of the food base is not only problematic in terms of nutrition but has been increasing vulnerability to weather-related food shortages. Zimbabweans are aware of these risks and conclude that the lack of sufficient and healthy nutrition trig…

As part of the response, groups of volunteers were formed to provide basi…
