Sexual
behaviour, AIDS and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Prual A, Chacko S, Koch-Weser D.
Within the rapidly progressing pandemic of the acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) Sub-Saharan Africa plays a disproportionally large
role. The reported data indicate that heterosexual transmission
is the predominant cause for the rapid spread in this, one of the
world's poorest regions. Prostitution, though poorly understood
in the African context, unstable family structure, lack of male
circumcision, aversion to, and high cost of, condom use, and risky
sexual behaviour, including multiple sexual contacts and partners,
are causal and facilitating factors in the rapid spread of HIV infection.
Virtually all of these factors are related to poverty. Education
and information, which in the absence of an effective curative drug
and/or vaccine, would be essential, is also a costly undertaking.
Deeper understanding of and increased attention to the economic,
as well as social and cultural, parameters of the Sub-Saharan AIDS
endemic is needed for the implementation of preventive measures.
