Drawing on qualitative data, this paper examines narratives of sexual activity (or the lack thereof) among people living with HIV in two urban poor contexts in Kenya and the ways in which these narratives intersect with the discourse of a ubiquitous HIV-prevention strategy - the 'ABC' (Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condom Use) approach. The exploration of these narratives gives insight into the ways that the notions and meanings around sexual activity are informed and re-shaped by the experience of living with HIV in urban poor settings and into the complex ways in which the components of the ABC approach feature in the lives of PLHIV in these contexts. As the sexuality of people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa is an under-researched area, this paper sheds light on the realities of living with HIV in urban poor settings and illuminates the context that informs constructions of sexuality in this milieui.
本文借鉴定性数据，考察了肯尼亚两个城市贫困地区艾滋病毒感染者的性行为（或缺乏性行为）叙述，以及这些叙述如何与无处不在的艾滋病毒预防策略——“ABC”（禁欲、忠诚、使用避孕套）方法的话语交叉。这些叙述的探索使我们深入了解了在城市贫困环境中感染艾滋病毒的经历如何影响和重塑性行为的概念和意义，以及 ABC 方法的各个组成部分在这些环境中 PLHIV 生活中的复杂特征。由于撒哈拉以南非洲地区艾滋病毒感染者的性行为是一个研究不足的领域，本文揭示了城市贫困环境中感染艾滋病毒的现实，并阐明了影响这一环境中性行为构建的背景。
