Globalised inequalities and HIV/AIDS
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to detail the complex, but real relationship between the processes, forces and agents of globalisation and the pace, intensity and destruction of HIV/AIDS. Drawing examples from Africa, I will argue that the changes in the distribution of income and poverty and the impact of neo-liberal economic strategies, which characterize globalisation, have a direct impact on human well
being and thus provide the context for the rampant spread of HIV/AIDS. It is, however, with a brief global overview of challenges posed by the pandemic that I begin my analysis.
