Product (RED) was launched in 2006 as an initiative to activate the corporate sector in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. In 2009, Nike joined Product (RED)’s list of corporate partners with its “Lace Up, Save Lives” campaign. Nike (RED) directs 100% of its profits toward HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and grassroots soccer programs in Africa. This case study questions the symbolism projected by Nike (RED) and its implications by applying Jean Baudrillard’s theories on consumption and hyperreality. The manner in which Nike

Abstract:
As the South African HIV/AIDS epidemic enters its fourth decade, universal access to treatment has begun to extend the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS. While the South Africa’s ruling party – the African National Congress – has seized on improved health to bolster their political profile, the key agitators in producing this outcome were South African HIV/AIDS activists. Narrative accounts of the extended initiative have focused on the organisations that led the campaign for treatment access, such as the Treatment Access Campaign.

Abstract:
Southern African countries have the highest HIV infection rates in the world. In most of the countries in the region, the rate among adults is at least 10%. The fight against HIV/AIDS has mostly been inadequate owing to the lack of proper consideration of ethical and cultural issues. In this article, the authors discuss the ethical and cultural dilemmas concerning HIV/AIDS, with Malawi as a case in point. It is argued that increasing financial resources alone, as exemplified by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria initiative, without proper attention to ethical issues, moral

Abstract:
This study offers the first systematic analysis of the impact of press-state relations, or media systems, on the HIV/AIDS news agenda in African news coverage. The premise is that media systems play a determining role in the degree to which journalists can independently advocate for social change when covering HIV/AIDS. Drawing on comparative research, four sub-Saharan countries were categorized into two media systems: Contained Democratic (South Africa, Nigeria) and Repressive Autocratic (Zimbabwe, Kenya).

Abstract:
In 2003, the George W. Bush administration passed the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a US government initiative to address the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic primarily in Africa. PEPFAR’s US$18 billion budget remains the largest commitment from any nation towards a single disease and has saved countless lives. Given the historical and current political resistance to foreign aid, PEPFAR’s drastic spike in spending on HIV/AIDS raises questions over how the policy process resulted in bipartisan support.

<strong>Background. </strong>Investment in malaria control has been proven to contribute to socio-economic development. Concomitant investment in HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis further augments these socio-economic gains. Africa has used this evidence to guide policy-making, especially for investment in the control of malaria and other infectious diseases. Pursuant to the objective of developing Africa, the Heads of State and Government of the OAU met in 2001 to address the challenges of HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a scourge that was ravaging the continent.

Abstract The debates surrounding male circumcision and HIV prevention have been diverse ranging from religious, medical, ethical, cultural, political and financial. The arguments have been complex and varied depending on what academic and medical discipline one prescribes to and furthermore one’s ideology of the epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. This research will explain why on March 28, 2007 WHO and UNAIDS endorsed male circumcision as a public health initiative for HIV prevention in sub-Saharan Africa.

This chapter focuses on the contribution of the Ecumenical HIV and AIDS Initiatives and Advocacy (EHAIA) to discourses on churches and homosexuality in Africa. EHAIA is a program of the World Council of Churches (WCC) with a strong African ownership. Since the early 2000s, it has worked to sensitize African church leaders on issues relating to HIV and AIDS. As part of this, it has also sought to challenge homophobia and promote a positive understanding of sexual diversity. The chapter begins by discussing the historical, cultural and political contexts in which EHAIA has come to address the is

Abstract A critical component of the future for neuro AIDS research rests in the rapidly expanding HIV epidemic in third world countries. Estimates from UNAIDS and WHO state that 40 million individuals were HIV infected and 3 million died of AIDS worldwide in 2003. Importantly, up to 28 of the 40 million people infected reside in sub-Saharan Africa while nearly 8 million are in South and South-east Asia.

In 2003, President George W. Bush announced PEPFAR, which became operational in 2004 and is now the leading global funder for HIV/AIDS.

Lesotho is a small African country that has introduced two national cash transfer programmes, the universal old-age pension, and the child grant programme. This study indicates that the initiation of the social pension was not the result of cross-national policy diffusion in line with the ‘South African model’, but rather facilitated by a transition to political stability and a dominant government led by then prime minister, Mosisili. The child grant programme for orphaned and vulnerable children was initially driven by international organizations, yet the Lesotho government quickly took owner

As national education programs incorporate HIV prevention into school curricula, policymakers and educators need to know what they can expect from these initiatives. Can such courses influence the behavior of students as well as their knowledge and attitudes? If not, what can these courses reasonably be expected to accomplish, and what part can they play in overall HIV programming for youth? To help answer these questions, the Medical Research Council of South Africa and the Horizons Program studied the Life Skills Grade 9 Curriculum, a school-based HIV/AIDS initiative, as it was introduced in
