Chapter Chapter 1 in AIDS and Aid, 2010, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Health concerns are firmly embedded in the developing world. Conditions of poverty like inadequate health infrastructures and sanitation, limited access to treatment of diseases etc. have increased the susceptibility to diseases. However, there is an increasing awareness that health problems of the poor cross national borders and, hence, affect the well-being of people globally. Of all the health crises originating from the developing world the HIV/AIDS epidemic does not only seem to be the largest humanitarian concern but also possesses major economic, demographical and social consequences. AIDS could cause even bigger consequences in the future if the spread of HIV is not stopped.
