The AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to affect all facets of life throughout the subcontinent. Deaths related to AIDS have driven down the life expectancy rate of residents in Zambia, Kenya, and Uganda with far-reaching implications. This book details the current state of the AIDS epidemic in Africa and what is known about the behaviors that contribute to the transmission of the HIV infection. It lays out what research is needed and what is necessary to design more effective prevention programs.

"On July 13, 2010, the White House released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). This ambitious plan is the nation's first-ever comprehensive coordinated HIV/AIDS roadmap with clear and measurable targets. It is also a new attempt to set clear priorities and provide leadership for all public and private stakeholders to align their efforts toward a common purpose. The goals of NHAS are to: Reduce new HIV infections; Increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV; and Reduce HIV-related health disparities. To address the challenges of the epidemic and maximize the effectiveness of current HIV prevention methods, CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) pursues a High-Impact Prevention (HIP) approach. This approach uses combinations of scientifically proven, cost-effective, and scalable interventions targeted to populations in geographic areas most affected by the epidemic, and promises to greatly increase the impact of HIV prevention efforts. CDC also acknowledges that strengthening our work in HIV testing, linkage, and care will be essential to achieving the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This guidance for HIV planning defines CDC's expectations of health departments and HIV planning groups (HPGs) in implementing HIV prevention planning. The HPG is the official HIV planning body that follows the HIV Planning Guidance to inform the development or update of the health department's Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan, which depicts how HIV infection will be reduced in the jurisdiction. HIV planning is a required and essential component of a comprehensive HIV prevention program, as outlined in Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PS12-1201, Comprehensive HIV Prevention Programs for Health Departments (2012-2016). CDC is committed to supporting HIV planning, including significant community involvement, scientific basis of program decisions, and targeting resources to have the greatest effect on HIV acquisition and transmission."--Page 4-5.

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

Much has happened since the first appearance of AIDS in 1981: it has been identified, studied, and occasionally denied. The virus has shifted host populations and spread globally. Medicine, the social sciences, and world governments have joined forces to combat and prevent the disease. And South Africa has emerged as ground zero for the pandemic. The editors of HIV/AIDS in South Africa 25 Years On present the South African crisis as a template for addressing the myriad issues surrounding the epidemic worldwide, as the book brings together a widely scattered body of literature, analyzes psychosocial and sexual aspects contributing to HIV transmission and prevention, and delves into complex intersections of race, gender, class, and politics. Including largely overlooked populations and issues (e.g., prisoners, persons with disabilities, stigma), as well as challenges shaping future research and policy, the contributors approach their topics with rare depth, meticulous research, carefully drawn conclusions, and profound compassion. Among the topics covered: The relationship between HIV and poverty, starting from the question, "Which is the determinant and which is the consequence?" Epidemiology of HIV among women and men: concepts of femininity and masculinity, and gender inequities as they affect HIV risk; gender-specific prevention and intervention strategies. The impact of AIDS on infants and young children: risk and protective factors; care of children by HIV-positive mothers; HIV-infected children. Current prevention and treatment projects, including local-level responses, community-based work, and VCT (voluntary counseling and testing) programs. New directions: promoting circumcision, vaccine trials, "positive prevention." South Africa’s history of AIDS denialism. The urgent lessons in this book apply both globally and locally, making HIV/AIDS in South Africa 25 Years On uniquely instructive and useful for professionals working in HIV/AIDS and global public health.
