Correlates of national HIV seroprevalence: an ecologic analysis of 122 developing countries
Article Abstract:
Ecologic analyses of social and developmental correlates of country-level HIV seroprevalence suggest strategies for combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Countries with the highest HIV seroprevalences tended to have lower total health expenditure, had fewer nurses and doctors, and provided more limited access to essential medications highlights the challenges in providing antiretroviral therapy to HIV-infected patients in developing countries.
