The analysis challenges the common perception of HIV and AIDS which has been shaped to a large extent by analysis of HIV and AIDS in other regions with much higher prevalence rates. Three risks to development are associated with HIV and AIDS in South Asia: the risk of escalation of concentrated epidemics, the economic welfare costs, and the fiscal costs of scaling up treatment.Directions in DevelopmentAIDS (Disease)Economic aspectsSouth AsiaHIV infectionsEconomic aspectsSouth AsiaElectronic books.AIDS (Disease)Economic aspectsHIV infectionsEconomic aspects362.196/979200954Haacker Markus917653Claeson Mariam870604World Bank.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454292603321HIV and AIDS in South Asia2472890UNINA
