The HIV/ AIDS epidemic is new and growing in South Africa and societal consequences will unfold for decades. This thesis examines vulnerability to infection and impacts among street traders in Warwick Junction, Durban, based primarily on participatory research with traders. At the macro level, it shows traders’ vulnerabilities as shaped by historical structures, societal transition, globalization and urbanization, which result in livelihood insecurity and dislocation from their families. At the micro level, traders are experiencing the epidemic differently by age and gender due to uneven socio-economic circumstances. Linking these contexts indicates that institutional intervention could enable traders to respond in ways that mediate the epidemic’s effects. This research provides a basis to examine the adequacy of vulnerability concepts, revealing that in order to reduce future tragedy, there is a need to understand the processes that underpin infection and impacts—a re-orientation of vulnerability assessment away from its present outcomes-focus.
