dc.description.abstract	Aids is an inverted colonialism. For this reason, the paper discusses HIV/AIDS as a new technology of African domination and exploitation in the 21st century and beyond. It transcends the mere understanding of HIV/AIDS in purely medical terms by locating it within the context of the ideological value thrust of the European cultural thought and behaviour, where the need for self-significance and superiority has degenerated into a form of pathology. The paper contends that HIV/AIDS must be understood within the context of Europe’s obsession with black xenophobia, power and domination. In this regard, it is not different from a conveyor belt of other European projects on African genocide like slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism, globalisation and many others.	en
