Description

The HIV/AIDS pandemic striking South Africa is of historic proportions. More people are living with AIDS in South Africa than in any other country in the world. In a decade the life expectancy in South Africa has dropped from 67 to 43 years. The social and economic impact of this disease is hard to overstate. This volume addresses the economic, social and cultural impact of HIV/AIDS as it relates to South African society.
