false 47254 1 AIDS is devastating many areas of sub-Saharan Africa.Over twelve million people in the region have died of AIDS in the past decade.Over 29.4 million people in the region are infected with HIV.Of the eleven people who contract HIV each minute in the world, ten live in sub-Saharan Africa.With no known cure and no vaccine as yet available, an estimated 60% of Africans under the age of eighteen today will be dead of AIDS before they reach 45 years of age. Most prevention programs have largely failed because the research behind them has focused primarily on "risk groups, " behavioral change models, and flawed understandings of cultural practices.HIV and AIDS in Africa: Beyond Epidemiology seeks to shift the predominant understandings generated by biomedical and epidemiological research, recognizing that HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa is a complex and regionally-specific phenomenon rooted in local economies, deepening poverty, migration, gender, war, global economies, and cultural politics. International contributors from across the social sciences further our understanding of AIDS by looking at the epidemic from angles often inadequately explored. Ultimately, the underlying message of every contributor to this book is that AIDS is not going to diminish in Africa until social, gender, and economic inequities are addressed in meaningful ways. 46298 2 12 2003 HIV and AIDS in Africa: Beyond Epidemiology total:6|5:2|4:2|3:2|2:0|1:0| 6 24 13 1 3 0 false false Thu Apr 10 16:08:49 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 16:09:05 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jun 09 05:20:22 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 05:20:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun May 03 21:03:01 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 21:03:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 24 09:27:27 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 10:36:32 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 07 09:32:22 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 09:32:22 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jun 16 08:29:10 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 08:38:53 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Feb 25 17:44:20 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 17:44:29 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Feb 03 18:20:50 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 08 10:39:46 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 03 18:20:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 21 07:12:35 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 21 07:12:39 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Fri Oct 19 00:16:05 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 19 00:16:14 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Aug 20 11:12:54 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 11:12:54 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sun May 27 14:56:36 -0700 2007 Sun May 27 14:56:36 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri May 18 06:36:18 -0700 2007 Fri May 18 06:36:18 -0700 2007
