Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death globally, particularly among children and young adults. The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

This open access book introduces the theoretical frameworks and academic debates concerning sexual cultural practices and HIV/AIDS in Africa. It shows how these frameworks have been applied in a practical sense in Africa to investigate sexual cultural practices and their link with HIV/AIDS. The author provides an overview of both the field of study and the methods used during fieldwork. Finally, it assesses the implications of the findings for the conceptualization and provision of current and future HIV/AIDS policies and programs in Africa. This monograph will appeal to policy makers and practitioners working in the field of HIV/AIDS in the Global South as well as academics and students.

In this volume, sociologists, demographers, epidemiologists, social psychologists, statisticians and economists analyse the data of a large-scale multidisciplinary survey conducted in France in 1992 under the responsibility of the French national centre for research on health and medicine (INSERM), with the technical support of INED and the financial support of the governmental agency for research on AIDS (ANRS). 20,000 men and women have been interviewed, representing the population aged 18 to 69.What are the significant factors of sexual behaviour? What part does rationality play in the decisions of individual? What are the main reactions of men and women to the onset of the new and major risk in sexual activity represented by AIDS? This volume suggests some answers to these fundamental questions and reports the considerable methodological investment that was made for both collection and treatment of data.
