Présentation de l'éditeur :
In 1993, Helen Epstein, a scientist working with a biotechnology company searching for an AIDS vaccine, moved to Uganda, where she witnessed first-hand the suffering caused by the HIV virus. The Invisible Cure, dramatic, illuminating and beautifully written, recounts the struggle of international health experts, governments and ordinary Africans to understand the devastating spread of HIV in Africa, and traces how their responses to the crisis have changed in light of new medical developments and political realities. The AIDS epidemic in Africa is uniquely severe, but Epstein argues that there are ways to address this crisis that may be simpler than many people imagine. A deeply affecting story of scientific breakthroughs and false starts, and of the human costs of policymakers' missteps and inaction, The Invisible Cure will change the way we think about AIDS, a disease without precedent.
Revue de presse :
Her subject – it soon becomes clear – is not just the nature of one virus, but of humankind (Philip Gourevitch )
Like travelling into remote and hard-to-comprehend territory with an unblinking and sure-footed guide (The New York Times )
A serious attempt to understand the epidemiology of thoughtfulness, as well as that of HIV. Epstein wants to know why clarity and honesty, as well as human lives, so often become casualties of AIDS (New Statesman )
Some of the scenes that the author describes would be hilarious were they satirical rather than real. An important contribution to the literature of AIDS (Spectator )
Practical, concrete and full of hard information ... Epstein's scientific background, lucidity of expression and habit of wide-ranging inquiry lend authority and accessibility (Hilary Mantel London Review of Books )

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A New York Times Notable Book of 2007 The Invisible Cure is an account of Africa's AIDS epidemic from the inside--a revelatory dispatch from the intersection of village life, government intervention, and international aid. Helen Epstein left her job in the US in 1993 to move to Uganda, where she began work on a test vaccine for HIV. Once there, she met patients, doctors, politicians, and aid workers, and began exploring the problem of AIDS in Africa through the lenses of medicine, politics, economics, and sociology. Amid the catastrophic failure to reverse the epidemic, she discovered a village-based solution that could prove more effective than any network of government intervention and international aid, an intuitive response that calls into question many of the fundamental assumptions about the AIDS in Africa. Written with conviction, knowledge, and insight, The Invisible Cure will change how we think about the worst health crisis of the past century--and indeed about every issue of global public health. In her unsparing and illuminating account of the effects of AIDS in Africa, Epstein describes how health experts, governments, and ordinary Africans have struggled to understand the rapid and devastating spread of the disease as well as new medical and political developments. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780312427726
