Abstract
This article reviews four recent (post-2003) books written by authors living and working in Africa which explore the connection between morality and the HIV epidemic. The books are written from differing perspectives, make use of diverse methodological approaches and present varying conclusions and recommendations. While each work provides considerable scope for discussion in and of itself, this review article attempts to pull the works together by focusing on two major themes that run across all four books and that are critical to developing conversations around morality and HIV, particularly in the sub-Saharan African context.-
