"Uses media studies, feminist studies, sexuality studies, cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology to examine HIV prevention messages as a lens through which to explore Ivoirian responses to a series of economic and political crises, and to demonstrate the complex intertwining of politics and public health, media and morality, and heteronormativity and neoliberalism"--

Approximately 70% of the global total of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2016 were in sub-Saharan Africa. After delayed governmental responses, the media has been consistently deployed as an essential tool for prevention.
