While the AIDS pandemic is one of the great crises of our time, we are just beginning to grasp the social impact of AIDS. This is especially true in Africa, the region most severely affected by the disease. This dissertation contributes to this emerging area of research and explores how AIDS is shaping conceptions of masculinity in Uganda. Uganda is seen as Africa's great success story in combating AIDS, making it a key site for examining the impact of the disease on social relations in Africa.

While the AIDS pandemic is one of the great crises of our time, we are just beginning to grasp the social impact of AIDS. This is especially true in Africa, the region most severely affected by the disease. This dissertation contributes to this emerging area of research and explores how AIDS is shaping conceptions of masculinity in Uganda. Uganda is seen as Africa's great success story in combating AIDS, making it a key site for examining the impact of the disease on social relations in Africa.

The dissertation is based on one year of ethnographic research in a low-income community called Bwaise in the Ugandan capital Kampala. In Bwaise, AIDS has indeed shaped conceptions of masculinity, but only those dimensions related to certain aspects of male sexual behavior. The non-sexual dimensions of masculinity are changing as well, but AIDS is a less salient factor. Instead, new discourses of gender equality are playing a key role in shaping the non-sexual aspects of masculinity by challenging entrenched ideas of male authority and superiority. Thus, AIDS and new discourses of gender equality are affecting ideals of masculinity but along different dimensions, leaving notions of masculinity destabilized by not fundamentally transformed.

This research reveals both the reach and limits of conventional approaches to AIDS prevention. AIDS prevention efforts in Uganda, and elsewhere, have been largely premised on a notion of sexuality reduced to a quantifiable and malleable individual sexual behavior. These prevention efforts imply sexuality can be understood in isolation from gender relations. Yet in Uganda, like all social contexts, there are multiple ideologies of gender and sexuality at work, and they are not premised on sexuality as autonomous from gender relations. Understanding the social impact of AIDS, I argue, requires examining how a medicalized sexuality that posits sexuality as separate from gender relations is transformed through an encounter with local ideologies about how sexuality and gender are interrelated. Conventional AIDS prevention efforts have reframed sexual behavior in Uganda, but they have not reworked the gendered power dynamics that lie at the heart of the continuing AIDS crisis in Uganda, and beyond.
