Resumo
In this article I describe how traditional Tswana healers perceive AIDS and classify it as either a 'Tswana disease' or a 'modern disease.' I also discuss the consequences that these categorizations may have for preventing the spread of HIV, as well as the possible role that healers can play in this important effort.
