The research is about African women living with HIV and women
grieving the death of loved ones as a result of AIDS. We discuss
the women's preferred care for the ill person and for the family as
well as for the bereaved family. We consider together the effects
of HIV/AIDS in the community: the stigma attached to the disease
and the fears of people that they may contract HIV. The women
and I acknowledge the closely woven relationships between faith
and culture in a predominantly Xhosa community.
Participatory action research is used and contextual feminist
theology within a postmodern social construction approach to
