Can lead to death make people blameless, blame someone else
Antiretroviral therapy slows down ● counsellors should have scientific theories to
replication of virus correct misconceptions of origin of HIV develop

Urban legends of HIV:
HISTORY: ● FBI developed virus to destroy 3rd world

Response by government:
-Inaction -dissident beliefs -conflict
How is HIV prevalence measured? -denialism -harmful practices

gained from surveys conducted with specific coordinating body involving representatives of
groups ( sex workers, truck drivers) apartheid government + representatives of
anti-apartheid Aids activists
1. Antenatal surveillance programme 5. 1998 - Mandela government refusal 4 years after
