In the nearly three decades since the AIDS epidemic was first
recognized, scientists have made tremendous strides in devising
treatments for people living with HIV/AIDS. Yet in Africa, where
more than 60 percent of HIV-infected people live, treatments remain
out of reach for most.
"A Line Drawn in the Sand" captures the determination of several
African nations in tackling the challenge of providing lifesaving
antiretroviral therapies to their citizens: Botswana, which has
some of the highest HIV infection rates worldwide; Nigeria, whose
epidemic threatens to become one of the world s largest; Senegal,
often touted as one of the few countries with a model response to
the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and Tanzania, whose extreme poverty
threatens efforts to stem its epidemic.
By emphasizing the dramatic results that investments in AIDS
treatments in Africa can bring, the book provides lessons to
nations about scaling up their own treatment responses, hope to
individuals and communities confronted with the often devastating
impact of AIDS, and inspiration to the international HIV/AIDS
community.
