The unfolding tragedy of the AIDS epidemic is an instance where a
disease with local origins has created consequences worldwide. Todd
Sandler (2001a) Health concerns are ?rmly 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, de-
graphical and social consequences. AIDS could cause even bigger
consequences in the future if the spread of HIV is not stopped. The
international community has recognised this necessity by
determining the 1 ?ght against AIDS as one of the eight Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs ).
