Tsha Tsha: Entertainment-Education Series Challenges Masculinity Among HIV-positive Men in Soweto

This article is an excerpt from a study that aimed to examine the
production of HIV/AIDS lessons on Tsha Tsha Entertainment-
Education (E-E) and their reception by HIV-positive men in Soweto,
and to find out whether this response affected their perception
of their roles and responsibilities in HIV/AIDS. The rationale behind
this study was that gender and HIV/AIDS has been critical in
interventions aimed at combating the disease. The findings revealed
that audiences (HIV-positive men) identified with lessons around
HIV-testing, disclosure, support and those that challenge stigma
and masculinity in HIV/AIDS. Disclosure emerged as a major theme
compared with sub themes of testing, stigma, masculinity and
social support to form categories that were presented as the
findings.
