This book explores sexual and reproductive issues and§their §implication for the management of childbearing, STD§and HIV/AIDS §in an African community. The destabilisation of§traditional African §social institutions that provided support and§maintained a balance §between individuals, family and community has§impacted negatively §on reproductive health of both men and women. This§change has §also exposed them to dangers associated with sex. The§author §further discusses cultural perceptions and§explanations of §reproductive successes or failures and drawing on§specific cases §from the Akamba of Kenya, he shows that these notions§are §embedded in the Akamba theories of disease causation,§health and §wellbeing. The meaning of STD and HIV/AIDS infection§to women is §different from that of men and this calls for§gender-specific §prevention and management strategies. The book is§recommended §for scholars, students and researchers in§sexuality,social and §cultural aspects of health and illness in Africa.
