This book addresses the impact of HIV on populations of men who have sex with men in Africa and local responses to the issue. It documents the enduring existence of a rich variety of same-sex practices between men. More critically, it analyses how the denial and social rejection of same-sex sexuality, together with the legacy of criminalization by former colonial rulers, has not only fueledÂ the transmission of HIV between men, but has also impeded an effective response. The book also documents some of the outstandingÂ progress that has been made and acknowledges the differences between African countries. Through itsÂ focus on lived realities and grassroots activism in Africa, thisÂ book will appeal to researchers, policy makers and practitioners alike.
