dc.description.abstractThe media has succeeded in presenting HIV/AIDS as a disease of immoral people in society. Other organizations have gone so far as carrying out research and tests only on those considered prostitutes. In Kenya, the term 'prostitute' is used discriminately. When people talk of prostitutes, they refer only to women who use sex as a tool of economic gain. For a prostitute to exist, there must be a man willing to pay for her services. It is not credible to carry out a research or a test on HIV/AIDS and prostitutes while at the same time ignoring the fact that there must be a man with whom she was involved. In an advertisement promoting condoms in Kenya some years back, women were depicted in a discotheque as carriers of the disease while advising men to take control of their lives by using condoms whenever they had sex with such women. Away from social places and drinking places, a man for example who is infected with the virus can also infect it to a woman take for example the common practice of wife inheritance among some communities in Kenya.en_US
