Error in HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control

This book is a successful Doctoral Thesis presented to the University of Nigeria for the award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Public Administration. The book assessed the effectiveness of American-model Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) policy in the control of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, using Anambra State in South-East Nigeria as a case study. The study highlights the limitations of policy transfer from the developed North to the developing South.The book draws attention to the insidious errors of strategic policy management that have caused HIV/AIDS to remain an "un-ending epidemic" for more than 25 years. Accordingly, the book proffers solutions to accelerate the end of HIV/AIDS to meet the Sustainable Development Goal. The book throws a life-line to millions of persons and families affected by HIV/AIDS and to Developing Countries 'drowning' under the HIV/AIDS burden. Reading this book offers a special privilege of a 'binocular vision' from the empirical analysis of an ardent scholar and the recondite knowledge and experience of a hands-on practitioner in epidemic response.
