Beschreibung

How people make sense of illness is, in part, culturally determined. Existing community beliefs and presuppositions are organized as cultural models, which ?make meaning? of new situations such as the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These cultural constructions can also contribute to the spread of the epidemic. This volume examines the meaning and cultural contexts of HIV/AIDS in Nepal, where AIDS is relatively new and rapidly growing.
