AIDS in South Africa is more than polemics
Much has been made of South African president Mbeki's denial of a
connection between HIV and AIDS and his resistance to accepting antiretrovirals, but the political landscape is changing. Fassin and
Schneider (p 495) review the controversies of the AIDS crisis in South
Africa, and advocate a political and anthropological response to the
epidemic. Using a political analysis, they conclude that suspicion of
Western drugs and denial of the extent of AIDS in South Africa are
products of the apartheid regime.
