Overview
This book proposes a new path toward achieving improvement in the treatment of AIDS and the prevention of new HIV infections. Author Mead Over believes that nation donors have an obligation to help sustain financing for the treatment of millions of AIDS patients who would not survive without it. But, he argues, continued funding must be tightly linked to dramatically improved—and transparently measured—prevention of new infections.

Achieving an AIDS Transition includes prudent and detailed plans that promise to bring us all closer to a transition long overdue. --Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health Living with AIDS is clearly better than dying with AIDS. But the best outcome is to return to an AIDS-free world. Mead Over's book provides the essential foundation for understanding the transition. --Paul Collier, author of The Bottom Billion There is an urgent need to take a long-term view on AIDS. Achieving an AIDS Transition is thought-provoking and provides an important contribution to this vital debate. --Peter Piot, former executive director of UNAIDS
