HIV / AIDS and Food Insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa: Challenges and Solutions Paperback - 2011
by Barrett P. Brenton (Volume Editor); John Mazzeo (Volume Editor); Alexander Rodlach (Volume Editor)
From the rear cover
In resource-poor countries affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic, there is a great need to support traditional HIV/AIDS prevention strategies, access to treatment, and mechanisms to enhance livelihoods and coping mechanisms. At the same time, policies and programs must be developed as solutions that are focused on reducing stigmatization, decreasing vertical transmission, improving food and nutrition security, and reducing barriers to basic healthcare. The co-occurrence of HIV/AIDS and food insecurity underscores the challenges and role that structural inequalities and poverty play in the spread of infectious diseases. This collection of 14 chapters brings together a wide array of applied anthropologists, other social scientists, and practitioners to detail the ways in which public health measures can be effectively integrated with HIV/AIDS prevention, anti-retroviral treatment, and food security efforts in sub-Saharan Africa. Some of the specific questions addressed throughout the volume include the following. What have anthropologists learned about the relationship between food insecurity and HIV risk behaviors? How do we design programs that effectively address the problem of AIDS stigmatization? What role do anthropologists have in integrating the development of HIV/AIDS and food security policy and programming? The design and promotion of best practices that incorporate culturally, economically, and politically appropriate solutions are highlighted throughout the volume as case studies in applied anthropology.
