"Why do alternative, non-scientific explanations of HIV/AIDS continue to circulate in South Africa's townships after almost 30 years of AIDS education? In A Different Kind of Aids, David Dickinson explores the folk and lay theories that still circulate within township communities, despite extensive educational efforts and the availability of antiretroviral treatment. Dickinson's investigations, in partnership with HIV/AIDS peer educators and alongside township residents, drive a profound engagement with his subject matter, and he argues that these theories constitute a robust hydra of beliefs that underlies and supports the de facto plural health care system in South Africa." .
