ABSTRACT This article, through an analysis of Mozambican historical, social cultural and racial complexity, intends to point out the necessity of understanding HIV/AIDS epidemics in that country as a phenomenon with specific implications, determined by those particular conditions. The traditional healing systems and their disease conceptions, which are intimately related to local kinship, gender relations and cosmologies, and affect the interpretations that subjects produce about their context and experiences, should be considered to understand the relations Mozambicans establish with the disease, determining their particular conceptions and experiences with HIV/AIDS
