This edited volume presents a detailed portrait of couples living
with mixed HIV status, where one partner is HIV-positive and the
other negative. Readers will come to understand the various and
complex ways in which these mixed-status, or serodiscordant couples
build a life together within the shadow of HIV-related stigma.
Spanning the globe, coverage explores serodiscordance as a
negotiated practice and process, inseparable from the social
context in which it is situated. The book shows how couples draw on
diverse and sometimes contradictory cultural discourses of
medicine, romance, and "normality" to make sense of and manage
their mixed HIV status and any perceived risks, not uncommonly in
ways that depart from prevailing HIV prevention messages.
Throughout, compelling personal stories accompany the empirical
research, sharing the firsthand experiences of men and women in
serodiscordant relationships. Bringing together research from
diverse disciplines and geographical regions, this book contributes
important insights for future HIV health promotion as well as
offers new knowledge to scholarship on the cultural intersections
of illness and intimacy. It will appeal to a broad audience working
across the fields of HIV, health, gender, sexuality, development,
and human rights.
