Description
The author maps the social contexts of the perception and management of AIDS.
What do ordinary women in an African city do in the face of an AIDS epidemic without the benefit of what would be considered as basic health provision in an American or European city? This work draws a holistic picture of the options available to local people, and provides an understanding of problems and opportunities for health care in tropical cities.
