AIDS in Africa How the Poor are Dying

This book explores the socio-economic context of Africas vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and assesses the politics of domestic and global response. It charts the power relations driving Africas HIV/AIDS epidemic, frustrating the possibility of alleviation and recovery as well as working to relegate the continent to a bleak and vulnerable future.
