Women, The Law and HIV/AIDS in Africa
Currently 13.3 million women live with HIV and AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa. In Women, the Law, and HIV/AIDS in Africa: A Conundrum for the Legislature? (Vandeplas Press, $34.95), Florence Shu-Acquaye, professor of Law at Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center, highlights the challenges these women face. Antiretroviral drugs and improved technology have rendered HIV/AIDS a chronic disease in developed countries, but not so in Sub Saharan Africa. This book examines the epidemiology, manifestations and management of the problem in a setting where prevention and access to drugs is compounded by various factors. The law plays an important role and often the issue is not whether there is a law in place, but whether it is enforced. This is critical for African countries, where, without government commitment, implementation of HIV/AIDS treatment programs would possibly be unachievable. Meet the professor at Books And Books, 265 Aragon at 8pm. Call 305-442-4408. http://www.booksandbooks.com
