Response-ability in the era of AIDS: Building social capital in community care and support explores the social norms, mechanisms and practices related to HIV/AIDS care and support in a semi-rural community in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and makes specific recommendations for improvement of the current care and support situation.

They all have extensive experience with research, teaching and supervision in international settings.
