other working in covert ways is the cause of illness; (2) Zimbabweans and people in other developing societies interpret their illness simultaneously through science (e.g., HIV is sexually transmitted) and culture (sorcery and conspiracy theories); and (3) prevention and treatment programs that do not address people’s culturally-based beliefs about illness will not be effective. A major contribution of this work is the conclusion regarding the integration of cultural and scientific beliefs in the interpretation of HIV. This is a message that health care workers conducting prevention and treatment must always account for to be effective. This book should be read by those developing HIV/AIDS education and treatment programs in developing areas. It should be particularly useful for health care workers serving the poor and underserved in Africa and other developing areas.
