HIV/AIDS is a current global challenge. This book captures the complex HIV/AIDS' life experiences of various members of the education sector workplaces. The intention was to show how culture and gender influence the HIV/AIDS lived experiences in education workplaces. Focusing on attitudes, knowledge, beliefs and practices of the participants, I identified particular aspects of 'world views' and/or perceptions, popular discourses and non-biomedical disease explanatory models that impact on the implementation of HIV/AIDS policies in the education sector. The book demonstrates the insufficiency of official discourse and Western biomedical constructs for understanding and responding to HIV/AIDS, and concludes that the hybrid nature of perspectives explains that no single approach to the AIDS crisis in education institutions will be effective for addressing the epidemic and its challenges. The book will be more fascinating to People who deal with: HIV/AIDS, gender and culture, HIV/AIDS in workplaces, policy makers and implementers, researchers especially those focusing on HIV/AIDS in Africa and those still in denial of the existence and devastating effects of the epidemic
