INTH-443 HIV/AIDS: Who Will Live? Who Shall Pay? What can be done?
Fall only
This course, offered jointly by specialists in organization and management, legal and regulatory systems, and economics and finance, will be available to graduate and under-graduate students. The exceptionality of HIV and AIDS led to the decision of the international community to establish the Joint United Nations Program on AIDS in the mid-1990s and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in 2002. Despite notable success in organizing for the fight against AIDS, there are still more than forty million persons living with the disease. Its impact has been particularly grave in sub-Saharan Africa and other low-income countries. Ignorance, denial, stigma, discrimination and legal frameworks continue to militate against efforts to promote positive behavioral change.
This course will explore HIV/AIDS from several perspectives: epidemiological, financial, national (governance, organization, social context) and international (cooperation and regulation). It will address issues such as: How must affected countries organize their efforts to be successful? What is the proper role for international donors and organizations? What legal and regulatory issues must be resolved at national and international levels? How can we achieve equity and universal access to prevention and treatment?
