Written by many of Nigeria's leading HIV experts, this book explores the dynamics of the country's epidemic, analyzes prevention efforts, identifies crucial gaps, and formulates effective strategies for controlling the epidemic. Complementing the experts' words are the dramatic portraits of people whose lives have been forever transformed by AIDS.

Kanki captures the determination of some African nations-including Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Tanzania-to provide lifesaving antiretroviral therapies to their citizens. By emphasizing the dramatic results investments in AIDS treatments in Africa can bring, the book provides lessons to nations about scaling up their own treatment responses.
