- W2158049170 abstract "In South Africa has made great efforts to provide knowledge about HIV/AIDS to the general population in an attempt to halt the epidemic that has affected millions of people. For the most part, the general population has had access to this knowledge and can repeat the ABCs of prevention: abstinence, be faithful, use condoms. However, local constructions of the disease exist, which at times contradict and challenge education-based information. This study examines how older women in rural South Africa talk about and make sense of HIV/AIDS in the context of their personal experiences. The women employ a variety of coexisting discourses that draw on both education-based information and local constructions of HIV/AIDS to explain its origins and effective ways of avoiding the disease. The discourses often serve to place the blame of the epidemic on certain groups of people, including whites, government officials, migrating Africans, and promiscuous women. Discourses concerning possible cures from medical doctors or traditional healers exist as well. These discourses shape the way older women experience the epidemic and condition their responses. Older women often counsel their children and grandchildren about HIV/AIDS, making it crucial to understand how they have constructed the disease. Thus, campaigns aimed at reducing transmission need to take into account local interpretations of the disease as well as Western-based “knowledge.” Given older women’s access to family members at risk of infection, ensuring that older women are passing on messages that will help to prevent transmission could have important implications for the future of the epidemic." @default.
