| Abstract
|
:
|
Combines economics and biology to explain the spread of HIV/AIDS and offers a critique of AIDS policy. Drawing on scientific evidence, this book demonstrates that HIV/AIDS cannot be stopped without understanding the ecology of poverty. It presents solutions to the health problems that promote the spread of HIV/AIDS.
