"One of the most important books about HIV/AIDS in our country.” Zackie Achmat, AIDS activist

"Just when I thought I have read all there is to read about HIV and AIDS, here comes a book that takes an absolutely different [approach] to the subject. It does not end there, it goes on to challenge the patriarchy that sometimes parades itself as culture and how damaging it can be sometimes in African marriages." Bayanda Mzoneli, Out Spoken
