    Market orientation, donor relations, and performance of South African HIV/AIDS care providers
    (2009) Golestaneh, Maha; Burgess, Steven Michael
    Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has reached pandemic proportions. In 2007, UNAIDS (2007) reported that 33.2 million people were living with HIV, 2.5 million were newly infected, and 2.1 million people died due to HIV and its associated disease, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Approximately two-thirds of these people reside in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where economic, infrastructural, and human resources are severely constrained. Infection rates in the range of 10%-35% make substantial demands on the health infrastructure of most sub-Saharan African countries and limit the amount of care provided to people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.
