440 _aAll about AIDS
500 _aUndertakes the crucial subject of AIDS and its prevalence among people living in poverty. Unquestionably, more people with AIDS/HIV live in poor countries than in rich ones. Indeed more than 60% of people living with HIV inhabit the poorest region of the world: sub-Saharan Africa, with over 7,000 AIDS-related deaths a day. But AIDS and HIV are not limited to the poor of Africa. Covers the history of AIDS and how it affects families and continues the cycle of poverty, why more women contract AIDS than men, and much more. Relates what is being done now to tackle both AIDS and poverty as a joint problem
