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. 410 0$aDirections in Development 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xEconomic aspects$zSouth Asia 606 $aHIV infections$xEconomic aspects$zSouth Asia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aHIV infections$xEconomic aspects 676 $a362.196/979200954 701 $aHaacker$b Markus$0917653 701 $aClaeson$b Mariam$0870604 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454292603321 996 $aHIV and AIDS in South Asia$92472890 997 $aUNINA
