HIV/AIDS: Implications for Poverty Reduction, 2001 (PDF)

The HIV/AIDS epidemic needs to be tackled on three fronts: (i) reducing the number of new infections and reversing the spread of the epidemic; (ii) progressively expanding access to care and treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS, and (iii) mitigating the impact of the epidemic on social and economic development by intensifying national poverty reduction efforts and providing support for those particularly affected (see box 1). The purpose of this policy paper is to zoom in on the third component of the response to HIV/AIDS: counteracting the developmental impact of the epidemic.
