Description
In the issue of HIV/AIDS, the majority of South Africans can be divided into two broad categories: those who bury their heads in the sand and deny that the epidemic exists, and those who believe that it exists but they cannot do anything about it. This book covers the likely origin of HIV/AIDS; the current situation in the world and in Africa; why it has hit the people in South Africa so badly; and the possible demographic, economic and social consequences for society over the next twenty years. Along the way, the authors dispose of many myths associated with the epidemic. Finally, rather than proposing a grand, monolithic plan, the authors recommend a grassroots approach made up of many small initiatives, pursued on as wide a front as possible, to overcome the epidemic and soften its impact.
