A comic strip that deals with HIV/AIDS in Kenya proves that entertainment and education can be combined. The overwhelming popularity of Radio soap opera "Ushikwapo Shikamana" (If Assisted, Assist Yourself) has led to the development of a spin-off comic strip, which reinforces the health and social messages provided in the soap opera.

"There is nothing really ’sexy’ about this epidemic besides the fact that it involves sex and death. It does not contain the striking images of war, it does not unfold rapidly such as the SARS virus did in Asia. The challenge now becomes how to redefine the story so as to reawaken editors and audiences."
