Abstract

This bibliography is compiled from a review of academic literature in English on drama and its use in the area of HIV and sexuality. More than ten key terms were used to search for relevant articles, theses and documents, ranging from the general (such as HIV, AIDS, drama, theatre, performance) to the more specific (e.g. roleplaying, edutainment, theatre for development and playmaking in a context of HIV).
