Rethink HIV : smarter ways to invest in ending HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa / edited by Bjørn Lomborg.

HIV/AIDS, human resources and sustainable development : World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg 2002.

<p>"The Deadly Ideas of Neoliberalism explores the history of and current collision between two major global phenomena of the last thirty years: the spread of HIV/AIDS and other diseases of poverty and the ascendancy of neoliberal economics. The book explains not only how IMF policies of restrictive spending have exacerbated public health problems in developing countries, in particular the HIV/AIDS crisis, but also how those problems cannot be resolved under such policies. In stark, powerful terms, Rowden offers a unique, in-depth critique of the political economy of global foreign aid and health institutions."--Page 4 of cover.</p>

The deadly ideas of neoliberalism : how the IMF has undermined public health and the fight against AIDS / Rick Rowden.

Philanthropic support to address HIV/AIDS in 2013 / Funders Concerned About AIDS ; Erika Baehr, primary author.

<p>The global response to HIV/AIDS has been a major aspect of global health and development policy over the last three decades. The book illustrates the devastating health impacts of the epidemic, with life expectancy in some countries falling to the lowest levels observed anywhere, and the remarkable success of the global HIV/AIDS response in reversing such extreme outcomes. Concerns about the implications of HIV/AIDS for economic development have played a role in motivating the global HIV/AIDS response. However, evidence on the impacts of HIV/AIDS on economic growth or poverty is weak, and the magnitude and relevance of such economic effects appears trivial compared to the consequences for life and health. Because of the success in extending access to treatment globally, HIV/AIDS has effectively transitioned into a chronic disease. This means that HIV/AIDS absorbs not only a substantial chunk of current global and national financial resources, but that these spending needs are projected to persist over decades. The costs of the HIV/AIDS response thus resemble a long-term financial liability, shaped by past and current policies.</p>
