Infectious disease epidemics are above all social events. With its massive death rates and long term effects, HIV/AIDS poses enormous challenges to governments. Its length and depth of impact raises even greater challenges. This lecture looks at how we govern infectious disease nationally and internationally in a rapidly shrinking world?

Alan Whiteside is director of director of the Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
