Bryan WamboldDr. KatiraiGeo 3101 April 2014Annotated bibliographyAbdool, K. (2010). HIV/AIDS in South Africa. (2nd ed.). Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press. This book covers a wide range of subtopics on the issue of HIV and AIDS prevalence in South Africa. The authors provide information in a well-organized manner that allows readers to easily find the information they are looking for. The book is divided into 7 sections with multiple chapters in each section. The sections are as follows: Birth of a rapidly growing epidemic, The virus, the human host and their interactions, HIV risk factors and prevention strategies, Focus groups for understanding the HIV epidemic, Impact of AIDS, HIV treatment and what does the future hold? Sections 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 will provide good background information on the topic for my article. Brunne, V. (2009). Public-private partnerships as an HIV/AIDS strategy in South Africa: the influence of historical legacies. African Journal of AIDS Research, 8(3), 339-348. doi:10.2989This article focuses on the collaboration of public and private partners to address and help the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Brunne says the success of these partnerships depends on and is influenced by the makeup of the company. One thing that can have a lasting impact on society is its history. In this case, the society's apartheid past plays an important role in the ability of public and private partners to come together and respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This will be a good source to refer to in my article as I explain the measures taken to eradicate or at least slow the spread of this devastating epidemic. Johnson, L. (2006).

Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences, 356 (1411), 1077-1086. doi: 10.1098/rstb.2001.0896This article explains the general epidemiology of HIV in South Africa. Williams examines the spread of the disease and differences in prevalence between different provinces. It also explains that the prevalence increases with age after 15 years and that the disease is more prevalent among women. Williams also describes several factors that could have a significant impact on the spread of HIV, including circular migration, something that is often blamed for the rapid spread of HIV. Finally, Williams describes several treatments and prevention strategies and their effectiveness, as well as the research needed and steps to take to reduce the continued spread of the disease..
