Whereas not only was there norelationship found between these two mentioned factors and theknowledge and belief on HIV, but also it has no impact on theviews of peoples living with HIV infected persons either in themain effect or in the buffering effect. From this case study, it can be concluded that the role ofeach individual is determined by the cultural values they haveacquired in their society, the roles that these individuals playcan be observed from the way they interact with their partners orwith persons who have no common relations with them. The rolesplayed out depend on the type of community. If the community isthe urban type, such as that found in modern metropolitan citiesand industrialized towns, then the role depends greatly on theeconomy. On the other hand, if it is the rural type, such as thatfound in peasant communities, then the roles are affected bykinship and ethnic. That is why each role is unique depending on the type ofcommunity. |
