Product Description

Product Description
Twenty-two million people have died from AIDS-related illnesses since AIDS was first discovered - more people than died in Europe during the Black Death of the Middle Ages. And 43 million people are now infected, two-thirds of them in sub-Saharan Africa. Already across Africa, Asia and Latin America, HIV/AIDS threatens to erode fragile economies and set back development for decades. This may be just the tip of the iceberg - the HIV virus is poised to explode in Asia and the former Soviet Union. Meanwhile, in the West, sophisticated drugs have given people with AIDS new hope. This guide tells the story so far, looking at the origins of the disease, the way it spreads, the profits made by drug companies, the special vulnerability of women and the positive action being taken by people and communities to fight back.

About the Author
Shereen Usdin is a medical doctor and a public health specialist. She is co-founder of the internationally acclaimed South City Institute for Health and Development Communication in South Africa and worked in the areas of development communication, HIV/AIDS, violence against women, health and human rights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction, 30 Oct 2005
The No Nonsense Guide to HIV/AIDS is informative, interesting, and perhaps most importantly, readable. Information is presented in concise form with relevant and clear tables and graphs. Case studies are well-researched and each one adds a new angle to the issue. The book goes far beyond AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa, presenting the causes and impacts of the pandemic in a broad range of countries- the profile of Russia's AIDS crisis is particularly interesting and revealing. All in all, a great little book for getting to grips with the pandemic and introducing yourself to the issues involved. Further reading is also suggested at the end.
