Deadly gonorrhoea’
This article combines local oral reminiscences with recent epidemiological literature to sketch a historical context around the onset and expansion of the HIV-1 epidemic in southern Uganda and north-western Tanzania. The local historical imagination has associated the appearance of AIDS in two ways. First, with specific socio-economic structures and circumstances common in the region since the 1960s and their enhancement during the 1970s due to e…
No sex until marriage
This article investigates the historical origins of Uganda's HIV and AIDS prevention and the challenges it faced. By utilising a variety of sources, the article draws a picture of the early prevention campaign that ended in crisis in 1990, the consequent refurbishment of anti-AIDS efforts in the early 1990s and the ideological and practical problems they faced. The article argues that before the mid-1990s the HIV prevention measures were reluctan…
Challenging power and meaning
This article traces the historical evolution of conditions that favoured the spread of HIV in Rakai district, Uganda, and the process of evolution of the local, popular epidemiology of HIV and AIDS. It argues that the HIV epidemic was made possible by economic and social disparities, which grew more pronounced since the mid-1970s as a result of economic decline, physical insecurity, and the disbanding of public services. The local constructions o…
Balinsalamu embawo ?” Aids and the context of sexual behaviour adjustment in Rakai, Uganda, c. 1975–90
This paper approaches HIV and AIDS in Rakai district, Uganda, from a historical point of view, offering a representation that takes into account the broader socioeconomic context of the epidemic. It deals with the local behavioural responses to HIV and AIDS, and the effect and aftermath of the first AIDS education campaign in the district in the late 1980s. At that time, a popular catchphrase – “Balinsalamu embawo?” (lit. “Do they want to cut me …

Junior-headed households as a possible strategy for coping with the growing orphan crisis in northern Namibia
This paper reports research concerning junior-headed households among Oshiwambo speakers in north-central Namibia. Based on field interviews with randomly sampled junior heads of households and selected key informants, we outline some features common to the junior-headed households and the ways in which they attempt to manage their lives. The concepts of child- and junior-headed households are also clarified. We argue that due to a significant in…
The Historiography of HIV and Aids in Uganda
Uganda has been in the world headlines since the mid-1980s, first as a nation severely hit by HIV and AIDS, and later, from the late 1990s onwards, as the first country in sub-Saharan Africa that has managed to reverse a generalised HIV epidemic. Countless newspaper articles, television and radio documentaries and broadcasts, papers, books, and films have been produced about AIDS in Uganda, making the epidemic one of the most thoroughly researche…
