Description

The anthropological approach of this book helps to shed light on a central conundrum surrounding AIDS in Africa - why HIV prevalence fell in Uganda during the 1990s despite that country having one of Africa's highest fertility rates, while rising over the same period in South Africa, the country with the continent's lowest fetility rate.
