This important and relevant book tackles the crucial subject of AIDS and its prevalence among people living in poverty. Undeniably, more people with AIDS/HIV live in poor countries than in rich ones. Indeed more than 60% of people living with HIV inhabit the poorest region of the world: sub-Saharan Africa, with over 7,000 AIDS-related deaths a day. But AIDS and HIV are not limited to the poor of Africa. The disease is found among the poor in the US, in China, in Haiti, and elsewhere.
