The social and behavioural aspects of HIV and AIDS have continued
to defy explanation. Often, the complex dynamics of the condition
are overlooked in the attempt to find a chemical answer. This book
examines the quest for appropriate prevention programmes for HIV,
based on an examination of its epidemiology. The transfer of
HIV/AIDS among people in any society is complex, but the author
argues that understanding how the virus moves socially can help in
prevention. There is a widespread agreement that the HIV pandemic
in southern Africa has reached catastrophic proportions. In
providing an analysis of the movement of the virus at a local and
regional level in southern Africa, Webb intends to make available
techniques and conceptual models which will allow researchers and
policy makers to understand the epidemic and respond effectively.
He traces the complex relation between the virus, the movement of
peoples and traditional sexual behaviour and examines HIV in the
context of "development" and political and structural change in
southern Africa.
