Re: This special issue of AIDS--a mix of recent economic analyses and commentary on how best to distill economic insights to improve HIV/AIDS policies and programmes.

摘要

In the more than 25 years since the advent of the HIV/ AIDS pandemic, the commitment of international agencies, national governments, the private sector, people living with HIV/AIDS and donors have contributed to dramatic changes in the global response. Trends in HIV prevalence have stabilized in some developing countries, greater coverage of key prevention interventions such as the prevention of mother-to-child transmission have, at times, been achieved, and access to treatment has increased fivefold between 2003 and 2006 [1]. In addition to increased prevention and treatment provision, successful strides have also occurred in the mobilization of global financial resources for HIV/AIDS.
