What do HIV-positive women in Nigeria face as they seek meaningful
lives with a deeply discrediting disease? Kathryn A. Rhine uncovers
the skillful ways women defuse concerns about their wellbeing and
the ability to maintain their households. Rhine shows how this
ethic of concealment involves masking their diagnosis, unfaithful
husbands, and unsupportive families while displaying their beauty,
generosity, and vitality. As Rhine observes, collusion with
counselors and support group leaders to deflect stigma, secure
respectability, and find love features prominently in the lives of
ordinary women who hope for a brighter future as the HIV epidemic
continues to expand.
