Perspective Paper Prevention of Sexual Transmission of HIV

Thirty years after the identification of AIDS, humanitarian organisations warn that the fight against HIV/AIDS has slowed, amid a funding shortfall and donor fatigue. This book brings together research by specialist authors, a foreword by UNAIDS founding director Peter Piot and perspectives from Nobel Laureates and African Civil Society leaders to identify the most effective ways to tackle the pandemic across sub-Saharan Africa. There remains a critical lack of high-quality data evaluating responses to HIV. We still know too little about what works as well as where and how to replicate our successes. This book offers a comprehensive attempt by teams of authors to analyse HIV/AIDS policy choices using the cost-benefit analysis, across six major topics.
