Abstract
The burden of care and support for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa overwhelmingly falls on women, a state of affairs which, to a large extent, is assumed and reinforced by health and education interventions which have targeted mainly girls and women. In this chapter we argue forinterventions which involve men as well as women and which aim to promote forms of communication between males and females.
