HIV/AIDS, Security and Conflict: Making the Connections

The interconnections between conflict and HIV/AIDS are more complex and less obvious than is often thought. HIV/AIDS affects the lives of many: those people caught up in conflict, those who are the protagonists in conflicts, and those whose role it is to provide security during and after conflict.

The AIDS, Security and Conflict Initiative (ASCI) undertook research over a number of years to examine the connections, to gather evidence and to advance analysis. This special supplement of FMR presents a selection of the ASCI case-studies alongside a number of other articles on the subject which were submitted in response to an FMR call for articles.
