Exploring the challenges of HIV/AIDS: seminar proceedings

Abstract

This book contains the presentations and discussions delivered with partners by the Social Aspects of HIV/AIDS Research Alliance (SAHARA) Network of the HSRC at the two satellite sessions of the 16th International AIDS Conference, held in Toronto, Canada. Both sessions engaged with the urgent theme of the conference: 'Time to deliver'. The first section of the book, entitled "Managing the complexity of the HIV/AIDS challenge in sub-Saharan Africa" includes a selection of presentations on current trends, studies and focuses within the fight against the pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. The second section, entitled "Missing the women: Examining key challenges in policy responses to HIV/AIDS", presents an in-depth paper on this subject, including recommended steps of action in taking these issues forward and a discussion in response by four panellists.
