Beyond Our Means? The Cost of Treating HIV/AIDS in
the Developing World
Millions of people in the developing world are in
urgent need of the antiretroviral drugs that suppress
HIV and indefinitely postpone symptoms of AIDS. But
the majority live in the world's poorest countries
and cannot afford the cost of these drugs, medical
tests, and consultations. The price of these antiretrovirals
is not the only factor preventing treatment for AIDS
reaching those who need them. In many countries, health
care systems are weak, with far too few doctors, nurses,
and medical facilities. This report provides an overview
of the issues surrounding HIV in the developing world.
ABC of AIDS
This synopsis of the 5th edition of the book,
The ABC of AIDS, is a clinical review of the development
of the epidemic. Starting with a historical perspective
of where the first AIDS cases were recognized, the
article covers AIDS-defining conditions, a global
summary of HIV transmission, and an overview of the
growth and size of the epidemic over the decades.
