This publication examines in rich detail the cultural and contextual issues that have shaped HIV transmission in the Pacific. Based on their extensive experience in the region, authors Carol Jenkins and Holly Buchanan-Aruwafu also discuss the implications of contexts and cultures for designing and implementing HIV prevention and treatment programs. This publication aims to fill a knowledge gap by providing insight into the diversity of cultures and traditions in the Pacific; the changes that these cultures have undergone; and the similarities and contrasts in contexts, ideologies, attitudes, and practices that might be facilitating HIV epidemics.
