Report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic, 2002

In 2001, the world marked 20 years of AIDS. The epidemic has turned out to be far worse than predicted, & is still in its early stages. Effective responses are possible but only when they are politically backed & full-scale, & done today & tomorrow. Presents evidence of the responses to the epidemic mounted by many partners, incl. gov'ts., the bus. sector & civil society. This report provides positive proof that HIV, if left to run its natural course, will cause devastation on an unprecedented scale. The evidence presented here shows that where care is most needed it is least accessible. The agenda for building the capacity to extend care to all who need it is clearly presented, & the case for boosting resources for prevention & care is compellingly made.Marais, Hein is the author of 'Report on the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic, 2002' with ISBN 9780756730314 and ISBN 0756730317.
