Delivering education concerning the virus, expanding prevention programs, monitoring the needs of countries and communities affected by HIV and AIDS, making treatment accessible and providing care for individuals infected with HIV or living with AIDS continues to challenge the capacities of families, communities, countries and international organizations. In this course we examine the pandemic as both a global and local phenomenon. Our discussions will be theoretically framed within the central concepts of globalization, social inequality, stigma and economic development. While based with a socio-demographic tradition, this course draws on literatures from many disciplines to highlight the general contours, continuing debates, and ethical challenges related to the pandemic.
