La diffusion récente du VIH/Sida en Afrique doit être envisagée dans le contexte plus large des maladies infectieuses émergentes dont l'épidémiologie résulte de modifications dans l'équilibre entre l'agent, l'hôte et l'environnement. Pour des agents transmis sexuellement tels que le VIH, la diffusion épidémique implique un nombre élevé de cas secondaires à partir d'un cas primaire. Cette situation dépend elle-même de la fréquence des changements de partenaires sexuels, de la transmissibilité de l'agent et de la durée de la contagiosité. Les facteurs liés à l'agent qui peuvent avoir influencé la diffusion du VIH en Afrique sont les types viraux (VIH1, VIH2) et les sous-types dont au moins 9 existent dans le principal groupe du VIH1. Les principales caractéristiques prises en compte sont les comportements et réseaux sexuels, la prostitution, les maladies sexuellement transmissibles, l'utilisation de préservatifs et, chez l'homme, le fait d'être circoncis. Particulièrement difficiles à étudier sont les facteurs l'environnement au sens le plus général du terme tels que les normes de comportement, la pauvreté, les migrations et les efforts de prévention du VIH/Sida. Les modèles tentant d'expliquer l'émergence du VIH/Sida doivent prendre en compte l'extrême hétérogénéité de l'épidémie sur le continent africain et être pertinents pour développer des interventions plus efficaces. Bien que des études épidémiologiques descriptives et analytiques demeurent cessaires, les recherches orientées vers l'évaluation d'interventions sur le VIH/Sida constituent à l'heure actuelle la priorité en Afrique.

Biomedical revolutions seem to have radically altered the environment for HIV transmission: anti-retrovirals (ARVs) and drugs to reduce mother-to-child transmission promise to cut HIV transmission rates, as does male medical circumcision. However, the hopeful messages of UNAIDS are tempered with warning about expenditure shortfalls and calls for funding. Contributions to this book remind us that, along with the external financial constraints, there have been new fractures in state power and in the organisation of health systems. More than this, the book fundamentally calls into question whether biomedical interventions can change the social roots of this disease. As well as considering new policy approaches, the book reasserts a long-standing political economy approach to HIV and to adapt it to reflect new competing theoretical approaches. The chapters attempt to connect the debates about HIV/AIDS to larger discussions about globalisation, class differentiation, inequity and uneven development in African countries. This book was originally published as a special issue of Review of African Political Economy.

HIV/AIDS is a catastrophe globally but nowhere more so than in sub-Saharan Africa, which in 2008 accounted for 67 percent of cases worldwide and 91 percent of new infections. The Institute of Medicine recommends that the United States and African nations move toward a strategy of shared responsibility such that these nations are empowered to take ownership of their HIV/AIDS problem and work to solve it.

Across Africa, HIV/AIDS is slowly killing millions of people in the prime of their lives, weakening state structures, deepening poverty and reversing the gains in life expectancy achieved over the past century. Although many who study the dynamics of Africas AIDS crisis accept that, to some degree, its entrenchment is a socially produced phenomenon, few have examined how the course and intensity of the epidemic have been affected by the continents ubiquitous poverty, the impact of the pervasive structural adjustment programmes or Africas marginalization in the process of globalization until now. This book explores the socio-economic context of Africas vulnerability to HIV/AIDS as well as assessing the politics of domestic and global response. Using primary and secondary data, it charts the power relations driving Africas HIV/AIDS epidemic, frustrating the possibility of alleviation and recovery as well as working to relegate the continent to a bleak and vulnerable future. In this sense, the book marks a radical departure by providing a comprehensive analysis of Africas vulnerability to AIDS and the challenges confronting policy makers as they seek to reverse its escalating prevalence on the continent. AIDS in Africa is an immensely valuable introduction to the greatest pandemic facing the world today.

This book provides an overview of the current epidemiology of the HIV epidemic among young people in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) and examines the efforts to confront and reduce the high level of new HIV infections amongst young people. Taking a multi-dimensional approach to prevention, the contributors discuss the many challenges facing these efforts, in view of the slow progress in curbing the incidence of HIV amongst young people, focusing particularly on the structural and social drivers of HIV. Through an examination of these issues, chapters in this book provide valuable insights on how to mitigate HIV risk among young people and what can be regarded as the catalysts to mounting credible policy and programmatic responses required to achieve epidemic control in the region. The contributors draw on examples from a range of primary and secondary data sources to illustrate promising practices and challenges in HIV prevention, demonstrating links between conceptual approaches to prevention and lessons learnt from implementation projects in the region. Bringing together social scientists and public health experts who are actively engaged in finding effective solutions, the book discusses ‘which interventions works’, ‘why they work’, and the limitations and gaps in our knowledge to curb the pandemic amongst young people. As such it is an important read for researchers focusing on HIV/AIDS and public health.
