摘要

n a recent survey of HIV positive South Africans, almost half believed that traditional African medicine is more effective than antiretroviral drags. This is upsetting news. The country has invested heavily in antiretroviral drugs, rapid HIV tests, CD4 cell counters, and condoms and is the site of many clinical trials into novel treatments and HIV prevention devices. In the midst of all this technology, why do irrational beliefs about AIDS persist? The reasons are complex. AIDS advocacy groups attribute misconceptions about AIDS to sexual shame and the misguided leadership of former president Thabo Mbeki, who questioned the relation between HIV and AIDS. However, rumours about AIDS-that it is caused by witchcraft, US backed germ warfare against black people, or some foodbome poison-are common everywhere. In Nigeria, for example, a barber recently told a reporter that three quarters of his clients bring their own clippers because of fear of AIDS-even though there has never been a documented case of HIV transmission through hair dressing.
