Description:

Based on interviews with women who are HIV positive, this sobering account brings to light the deeply rooted and complex problems of living with HIV where the pandemic is widespread. Already pushed to the edges of society by poverty, racial politics, and gender injustice, women with HIV in South Africa have found ways to cope with work and men, disclosure of their HIV status, and care for families and children to create a sense of normalcy in their lives. As women take control of their treatment, they help to determine effective routes to tending the spread of the disease.
