“…Unfortunately, the effects were short-lived (Wakefield et al, 2010) and the expected ripples among the masses that would translate to positive behaviour change were not experienced. Contrary to the expectations, the epidemic continued to escalate at unprecedented rate (Kalipeni and Mbugua, 2005).…”

“…During this time, the causes and effects of HIV became widely known with the unfortunate effect of highly stigmatising the epidemic. With limited knowledge and understanding of the epidemic"s transmission, there was a lot of fear yet, many bore witness to the adverse effect of the epidemic (Kalipeni and Mbugua, 2005). Even communication campaigns at that time regarded HIV as a death sentence.…”

“…The development of the behavior change communication model has made some strides. Starting in the 1990"s Kenya witnessed strategic communication shifts with the entry of the behaviour change communication approach into the fold (Kalipeni and Mbugua, 2005). Were (2015) notes that though this model signaled some of the pioneering efforts in applying behavioral science theories in the fight against HIV, it was during the same decade that the Country recorded the highest HIV prevalence rates leading to the declaration of the epidemic as a national disaster.…”

This paper presents a literature review of the sexual reproductive health campaign messages and highlights the milestones in the existing literature. The review begins with definition of health campaign messages and other key concepts. The subject is then situated within the discipline of communication studies particularly within the branch of health communication. A review of relevant theories follows after which previous research on health campaign messages is highlighted. The paper concludes by pointing out the potential areas of further research on the subject of health campaign messages in Kenya. This paper highlights the key concerns cited among the literature to demonstrate the milestones achieved in sexual reproductive health issues and identifies gaps in research to underscore the need, within a uniquely Kenyan context, for subsequent studies.

“…Considering the sheer loss of human life extracted by AIDS across the continent, many critics agree that actors at all levels -governments, key leaders and prominent non-governmental organisations (NGOs) -have "failed to respond to the epidemic decisively, which allowed it to fester and spread" (Kalipeni & Mbugua, 2005). As happened elsewhere, many early HIV/AIDS responses in Africa were characterised by fears of promiscuity, homosexuality, stigma, denial, blame, inaction and delay (see Shilts, 1988;Mann, 1999;De Cock, Mbori-Ngacha, 2002;Herek & Capitanio, 1993;AJAR, 2003;Beyrer, 2010).…”

“…In an attempt to formulate meaningful intervention strategies for influencing changes in sexual behaviour, studies on knowledge, attitude and practice have also been conducted. Research on the discrepancy between knowledge and practice has underscored the role of socio-cultural, spiritual and economic factors (Iversen 2005;Kalipeni & Mbugua 2005;Teye 2005). Furthermore, an understanding of trends and possible impacts of HIV/AIDS is critical for the formulation of strategic policy interventions.…”

The gendered reconfiguration of low-income urban household space in response to AIDS: Perspectives from Botswana

The study focused on three main actors within low-income urban households in Gaborone, the capital of Botswana. These were primary care givers, persons living with AIDS (PLWA) and AIDS orphans. The survey investigated the extent to which the traditional family system was coping with provisioning for its PLWA and AIDS orphans, the level to which the main actors reorganize household space in response to evolving demands, to cater for PLWA and AIDS needs, and the degree to which such spatial reorganization resonates with the gendered utilization of household space. Although the methodology of this case study was mainly participatory, it also relied on documented literature from archival sources and the Internet for its conceptual, theoretical and statistical information. The results suggest that the traditional family system is failing to cope with care provision for the PLWA and AIDS-orphaned children and that adjustments to their increasing presence within the households influence the gendered reconfiguring of household space. The traditional gendered utilization of space is thus being constantly negotiated in response to the requirements of HIV patients and those of HIV/AIDS-orphaned children. The proliferating female HIV/AIDS patient care giving and orphan children guardianship appear to be threatening the central and pivotal position of the father figure within the patriarchal household setting.
