Thabo Mbeki and the AIDS 'jury'.
This paper examines the debate regarding efforts by the South African government to control the spread of HIV infections, with particular reference to events surrounding the 13th International AIDS conference. We posit that the reaction of the medical, pharmaceutical, and media sectors to the stance by the President Mbeki on HIV control amounts to an over-simplification of a very complex issue. Empathy and sincere partnership are required to address South Africa's worsening AIDS situation.
