Understanding the demographic and
socioeconomic patterns of the prevalence and incidence of
HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa is crucial for developing
programs and policies to combat HIV/AIDS. This paper looks
critically at the methods and analytical challenges to study
the links between socioeconomic and demographic status and
HIV/AIDS. Some of the misconceptions about the HIV/AIDS
epidemic are discussed and unusual empirical evidence from
the existing body of work is presented. Several important
messages emerge from the results. First, the study of the
link between socioeconomic status and HIV faces a range of
challenges related to definitions, samples, and empirical
methods. Second, given the large gaps in evidence and the
changing nature of the epidemic, there is a need to continue
to improve the evidence base on the link between demographic
and socioeconomic status and the prevalence and incidence of
HIV/AIDS. Finally, it is difficult to generalize results
across countries. As the results presented here and in other
studies based on Demographic and Health Survey datasets
show, few consistent and significant patterns of prevalence
by socioeconomic and demographic status are evident. |
