Beyond the African HIV/AIDS discourse: engagement in a transformative educational paradigm
Adalbertus Kamanzi
Abstract
Dealing with HIV/AIDS is complex. However, limiting our analysis of the persistence and spread of the disease to the biomedical African HIV/AIDS discourse is insufficient to explain the situation. This paper analyses the HIV/AIDS situation in the fishing communities of the Tanzanian side of Lake Victoria, in East Africa. It confirms that the African HIV/AIDS discourse is not efficient enough to deal sustainably with HIV/AIDS epidemic in the area. The paper proposes an open HIV/AIDS discourse is proposed, based on the transformative paradigm.
