Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0521548640 | ISBN-13: 978-0521548649 | Edition: 1

Relatively few people have access to antiretroviral treatment in South Africa. The government justifies this on grounds of affordability, a view that Nicoli Nattrass argues is insulating AIDS policy from social discussion and the possibilities of financing a large scale intervention. Nattrass addresses South Africa's contentious AIDS policy from both an economic and ethical perspective. This relevant and accessible work is a valuable resource for readers with an interest in AIDS policy and the social and economic implications of the pandemic.
