Abstract
Sub-Saharan Africa carries the heaviest burden of HIV/AIDS. Marginalised groups are particularly heavily affected. Women and young people carry the highest burden of infection. Poor people and people in rural areas have the least access to health and welfare assistance. Millions of people are dying of what is in principle a preventable and treatable disease — often in conditions of almost unbelievable suffering — with no medical to lack of ‘political will’ as the reason for the continuing grip of HIV in Africa. This is fast becoming a buzzword in debates. In the Executive Summary of the 2006 UNAIDS report, which pulls together the state-of-the-art deliberations of a range of international agencies, the final sentence reads: ‘We know what needs to be done to stop AIDS — what we need now is the WILL to get it done’ (UNAIDS, 2006: 24).
