Abstract
At a bar outside the major northern port city of Beira in Mozambique, a group of young men gather around to watch a play on HIV. The play tells the story of a man who is in denial of his HIV diagnosis, who refuses to take his pills and now has bad diarrhoea. “This is witchery,” he exclaims to the roaring laughter of the crowd. “A neighbour put a spell on me. I feel fine.” The nurse insists he takes his drugs; that if he does, he can live a normal life. At the end of the play, a peer educator from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF, or Doctors Without Borders) asks the crowd if they understood the message.
