3. Lancet editorial 18/10/08
It is time to unwind the rhetoric, and
reposition the responses to HIV/AIDS as
one of several important health
challenges. …. UNAIDS needs to
abandon AIDS exceptionalism.
Actually no. AIDS is exceptional, but not
everywhere!
4. Key Points
• The State of the Epidemic
• Why AIDS is exceptional
– Three waves and long periods
– AIDS and the global disease burden
– The hyper epidemic countries
– The demographic impacts in Africa and
Eastern Europe
– The cost of care
• Big issues

17. The Demographic Impacts
• Young people die
• Children are not born
• Population decline
• Falling life expectancy
• Orphaning

24. AIDS can not be cured
• People will need treatment
• For life
• And it is expensive

29. Big Issues
• AIDS interest (& funding) may have peaked
– Financial melt-down and recession
– Global environmental change
– Food availability and prices
– Peak oil
• Treatment challenges
– Cost and Coverage
– Sustainable financing
• Prevention (can we and how)
• Leadership and ownership (who and how)
30. What needs to be done differently
• Honest discussion about costs, choices,
sustainability and prospects
• Prevention
– A reassessment of existing programmes
– Ownership (leadership in Africa does not own the
epidemic)
– Male female dynamics
– Sexual networks
• Impact
– Save the human capital
• Leadership
