Aids and masculinity in the African city
Aids and masculinity in the African city
The odd couple
BACKGROUND: Better understanding and addressing health inequities is a growing global priority. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we contribute to the literature examining complex relationships between biological and social dimensions in the field of health inequalities. Specifically, we explore the potential of intersectionality to advance current approaches to socio-biological entwinements. DESIGN: We provide a brief overview of current approaches to c…

Challenges in researching life with HIV/Aids
Most social science research on HIV has focused on prevention. The arrival of new therapies generated more studies on life with HIV. However most have been carried out in developed world contexts. Much less is known about the vast majority of those living with HIV and dying from AIDS. If this gap is to be filled, more qualitative research will be needed on affected individuals in the developing world and also among migrants who have left developi…
You are not yourself
‘I count myself as being in a different world’
The experiences of men from African backgrounds living with HIV who are gay/bisexual have so far been overlooked in the research on HIV in the UK. Little is known about the ways that HIV impacts on this population. We report on an exploratory qualitative study with 8 gay/bisexual men from 7 different African countries living with HIV in London, based on in depth semi structured interviews and a thematic analysis. HIV testing and diagnosis, disclo…
'Elvis Died and I was Born'
This article reports on the first study of gay/bisexual men in the African diaspora. It is based on a focus group and in-depth individual interviews with eight men living in London. The main focus of the study was on the development of the men's sexual identity in their African countries of origin and the ways in which these identities and practices were reshaped and renegotiated by the move to London. The central themes to emerge were the tensio…
HIV-positive African women surviving in London
About three-quarters of all females diagnosed as HIV positive in the UK come from the African continent. However, very little is known about their daily lives. This article summarises the findings from a qualitative study of 62 women from 11 different African countries living with HIV in London. It explores the factors shaping their survival strategies and describes their experiences in their own words. They are far from home and many live in con…
Women from Africa living with HIV in London
There are no studies that have examined the particular needs and experiences of African women living with HIV in the UK at a time when they represent an increasingly large proportion of the UK HIV epidemic. This study explores the illness biographies and daily lives of HIV-positive African women receiving treatment in London. Sixty-two women from 11 African countries attending HIV specialist clinics in five London hospitals participated in self-c…
‘My fear is to fall in love again…’ How HIV-positive African women survive in London
Engendering International Health
Engendering International Health presents the work of leading researchers on gender equity in international health. Growing economic inequalities reinforce social injustices, stall health gains, and deny good health to many. In particular, deep-seated gender biases in health research and policy institutions combine with a lack of well-articulated and accessible evidence to downgrade the importance of gender perspectives in health. The book?s cent…
Putting gender into health and globalisation debates
Debates continue about the impact of globalisation on human well-being. However, they are often based on little empirical evidence. This is not surprising, given the contested nature of the term 'globalisation' itself, the different ways in which health and well-being can be measured and the diversity of globalising trends in different parts of the world. The aim of this paper is to clarify some of these issues by looking at the recent experience…
Sex, gender, and health
With advances in medical technology more can be offered with respect to treatment, for example, in neonates born prematurely. This raises the public’s expectations of what medical professionals can offer and puts healthcare professionals under pressure to continue treatment, which may ultimately be futile. The courts may be asked to intervene in those cases where there is disagreement between parents and healthcare professionals. This may occur w…

Comment et dans quelles conditions les rapports sociaux entre hommes et femmes influencent-ils la capacité des gens à prendre soin quotidiennement de leur vie et de leur santé ? Comment la prise en compte des rapports de genre permet-elle une autre lecture des déterminants de la santé ? Si on admet que les rapports sociaux entre hommes et femmes transforment les facteurs déterminants de la santé, quels sont les changements à apporter dans nos pra…

Managing Conception
This short paper provides an initial consideration of the social context of self-insemination. It examines the situation facing fertile women who wish to have children without the direct involvement of male partners or doctors and discusses some of the issues facing policy makers. The paper challenges the notion that children ‘need’ two parents and that they should be of different sexes
Waged work and women's well being
Hazards of hearth and home
Carers and the Careless
The re-election of a Conservative government will mean a continuation of current policies towards the National Health Service (NHS) which will be bad for the health of many women. It will mean a decline in the resources available to meet growing health needs; further expansion of the private sector; the 'commercialization' of various activities within the NHS itself, and the 'domestication' of caring through an even greater reliance on unpaid (us…
Women, health and the sexual division of labour
The women's health movement in Britain can be divided into three main stages. During the first period, most activities took place outside the National Health Service with the emphasis on women as consumers of medical care. Feminists exposed the sexism inherent in most medical practice and stressed the need for women to gain control of reproductive technology. During the second phase, these priorities began to change towards a greater concern with…

Gender equity in health
Your Life in Their Hands
The National Health Service is heavily dependent on overseas workers at all levels. Some 33 per cent of all doctors and 20 per cent of student nurses now working in Britain were born overseas. The traditional justification for this situation is that it constitutes a form of British 'aid' to the third world, training health workers who then go back to their own countries. However a closer examination reveals that in reality these workers provide a…
