This Paper attemps to map, drawing mainly from HIV and AIDS prevention interventions,
the multiple discourses on sexuality. 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 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.
Key words: sexuality, complexity, moral sensitivity, postcolonial, HIV and AID
