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 development (Washington, D.C.)Directions in development (Washington, D.C.).Human development.World Bank e-Library.AIDS (Disease)Economic aspectsSouth AsiaHIV infectionsEconomic aspectsSouth AsiaAIDS (Disease)Economic aspectsHIV infectionsEconomic aspects362.196/979200954Haacker Markus1465779Claeson Mariam1494720World Bank.DNLM/DLCDLCNLMYDXCPUKMC#PBWXCDXBTCTADLCBOOK9910777743703321HIV and AIDS in South Asia3789366UNINA
