This book is an attempt to understand the cultural roots of non-medical representations of disability and HIV/AIDS in KwaZulu-Natal. It argues that the way in which people are prone to think about and respond to disability and HIV/AIDS, exposes people with disability to a particularly high risk of infection while simultaneously decreasing access to treatment and care. While unfolding hidden meanings and notions about disability and HIV/AIDS, this book analyses both phenomena on a macrocultural, microcultural and individual level in todays South African society.
