Abstract:This paper attempts to map, drawing mainly from HIV and AIDS prevention interventions in Kenya, the multiple discourses on sexuality in African contexts. The aim is to provide a picture of the challenges and opportunities in transforming the concept of sexual wellness currently being articulated. This is a move from the commonly held view of sexuality as a threat to health, to one promoting sexual wellness or a positive view of sexuality. A postcolonial conceptual perspective is used to help grasp the multiple realities emerging from the historical influences on Africa and for reflexivity on the ambivalences and representations of Africa and African culture including sexuality.
