HIV/AIDS in Africa

HIV/AIDS continues to be a major health crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, where more than two-thirds of the world's HIV-infected population resides. In addition to studying condom use and antiretroviral treatment (ART), RAND researchers examine a variety of medical, social, and economic factors that affect the health outcomes and quality of life for Africans with HIV/AIDS.
