Given that women and girls carry the heaviest burdens of the
African HIV pandemic, their lived experiences should be the
starting point for any pedagogy of prevention. In light of this
claim, Risky Marriage: HIV and Intimate Relationships in Tanzania
uses qualitative fieldwork with HIV positive women living in
Mwanza, Tanzania to ask why marriage is an HIV risk factor. By
beginning with women's experience as a hermeneutical lens, this
book seeks to establish a creative space where African women can
imagine new alternatives to HIV prevention that would promote human
flourishing and abundant life in African communities. The aim of
this book is to listen faithfully to the lived experiences of HIV
positive women and ask how their experiences can help us re-imagine
Christian conceptions of marriage, sexual ethics, and health in an
HIV positive world. By drawing on the unwritten texts of women's
lives, this study proposes alternative pedagogies for faith-based
prevention methods and contributes to the wider interdisciplinary
and theo-ethical discourse on HIV prevention and women's health. At
the same time, it makes local impact of equal importance as women
in East African communities are invited to think creatively about
ways to end the HIV pandemic. For more information and comments
