| Summary |
One of the most notable features of South Africas response to the AIDS epidemic has been how it has deepened rather than reduced divisions in our country. The often fractious nature of our efforts are of critical significance if we consider that a united national response is a precondition to a successful HIV policy. The divisions have applied to differences in the understanding of the aetiology of the disease, as well as approaches to prevention and caring. The latest manifestation of this phenomenon has revolved around the desirability of antiretroviral treatments. Some have suggested that the paradigms that the different protagonists inhabit are so different that no dialogue is possible between them. This article will argue that not only is dialogue possible, but that part of the problem with our response to the epidemic has been it has often been based on ideology rather than evidence of the efficacy of various interventions. |
