Is AIDS in Africa a distinct disease?
Abstract
In Africa, opportunistic infections, transmission patterns, and viral subtypes differ from what is seen in the AIDS epidemics of the United States and Europe, yet 2 decades into the epidemic, AIDS researchers have only a shaky handle on the fundamental question: What accounts for these differences? The answers have potentially important implications for both prevention and treatment strategies.
