摘要:SINCE THE HIV/AIDS EPIDEMIC
began, 25 million people have died
of the disease. Another 42 million
are now infected with HIV. During this
decade, AIDS is expected to claim more
lives than all the wars and disasters of
the past 50 years.
The food crisis that threatened more
than 14 million people in southern Africa
in 2002–2003 brought into sharp focus
the interactions between HIV/AIDS and
food security. It demonstrated that
hunger cannot be combated effectively
in regions ravaged by AIDS, unless interventions
address the particular needs
of AIDS-affected households and incorporate
measures both to prevent and to
mitigate the spread of HIV/AIDS.
