This edited volume systematically describes the emergence and epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in developing countries. It goes further, too, to examine the social, community and political response, and the various measures to confront and control the epidemic, which of course have had varying levels of success. Of particular importance are strategies that appear to have been useful in ameliorating the epidemic, while contrasting the situation in a neighboring country or region where contrasting prevention or care initiatives have had a deleterious outcome. Common to all responses has been the international multi-sectoral response represented by the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and the Gates Foundation, among others, to promote HIV pharmacologic therapy in resource-poor settings. The chapter authors explore the political challenges in meeting HIV/AIDS prevention and care in concert with the public health realities in specific country and regional context.
