Unplanned antiretroviral treatment interruptions in southern Africa
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is essential for maximising individual treatment outcomes and preventing the development of drug resistance. It is, however, frequently compromised due to predictable, but adverse, scenarios in the countries most severely affected by HIV/AIDS. This paper looks at lessons from three specific crises in southern Africa: the 2008 floods in Mozambique, the ongoing political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe, and the 2…
The burden of HIV-related illness on outpatient health services in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Health services in sub-Saharan Africa will be faced with increasing numbers of AIDS patients for many years to come. Where there is good availability of drugs and other resources, the costs of treating HIV/AIDS is likely to be higher than those of treating other types of illness. This will put services under strain and potentially jeopardise health system reform, depending on the vulnerability of the system. Whereas previous research has focussed…
Social Protection in a Context of HIV/Aids
South Africa is unusual in that it is experiencing high levels of AIDS morbidity and mortality, but is also able to afford a relatively developed system of social assistance. However, HIV/AIDS is affecting poverty in some unique ways and compounding other challenges such as unemployment. Its nature is such that it demands immediate action, balanced with a focus on long-term development. This is requiring a conceptual shift from ‘social security’ …
Using an undertaker's data to assess changing patterns of mortality and their consequences in Swaziland
This paper measures AIDS mortality using routinely collected data from one of two nationally operating undertakers in Swaziland. The business recorded a marked increase in the number of deaths it handled between 1998 and 2002, most obvious in the 0-4 and 20-49 age categories. Cost data reflects this increase in mortality. Prices for funerals and coffins have declined in real terms. Recorded causes of death were of little use in determining the ex…
