FINDING THE MEANINGS OF AIDS ARV treatment in an Eastern Cape village
This research paper examines how the introduction of a successful antiretroviral treatment (ART) programme in Lusikisiki, Eastern Cape, influenced the public perception and meaning of AIDS. The author focuses on a qualitative study in the outlying village of Ithanga between October 2005 and January 2007, observing how universal access to treatment reduced public denial and broadened the clinical definition of the disease, while failing to eliminate the deep social stigma associated with HIV status.
