- Outline
- It is estimated that more than 33 million people worldwide are living with
HIV, and roughly two-thirds of them live in sub-Saharan Africa. People
with this virus are often seen as an epidemiological and moral danger to
others. The purpose of this study is to explore moral and institutional
conditions under which those with the virus and those without it may develop
positive relationships within the context of rural African society. I particularly
focus on the issues concerning HIV discordant couples (where one partner
is HIV positive and the other negative) to examine the involvement of HIV
positive individuals in marital and reproductive institutions at a community
level. I also focus on local support for households affected by HIV/AIDS
in order to secure access for labor, food and other essential resources
to sustain their livelihood. Principal Investigator / Ohno Shun Comparative
