The HIV Pandemic: Local and Global Implications

As we approach the 25th anniversary of the first recognition of HIV/AIDS in 1981, this book reflects on the international impact of the disease. It has persistently remained a global issue, with more than 50 million people worldwide estimated to have been infected since that date. This ambitious book, written by 165 authors from 30 countries, offers a multi-people comparative study that examines how the response to the common, global threat of HIV is shaped by the history, culture, institutions and health systems of the individual countries affected. Increasingly the shift of health systems has been from prevention only as the main containment strategy, to a strategy that includes scaling up HIV treatment, and care and prevention services, including antiretroviral therapy.Thus, all parts of the health system must be caught up; policy makers, healthcare professionals and users of the services have been forced to reckon differently about how services are financed, how resources are allocated, how systems are structured and organized, how services are delivered to patients, and how the resulting activity is monitored and evaluated in peacefulness to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and acceptability of the response. This book is unique in attempting to describe and assess a array of responses across the globe by situating them within the characteristics of each people and its health system. Most chapters combine a health policy expert with an HIV specialist, allowing both a ‘top down’ health system approach and a ‘bottom up’ HIV-specific perspective. There are thematic and questioning sections, which provide an overview and some suggestions for solutions to the most serious outstanding issues, and chapters which analyse specific people and organisational responses.There is no perfect health system, but the evidence provided here allows the allotment of knowledge, and a opportunity to assess the impact and reactions, to an epidemic that must be considered a long term issue.
