History

The global response to the HIV/AIDS crisis highlighted disparities between developed countries in the West and developing countries in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. While many Americans believe that the crisis is behind us, there are 38 million people living with HIV, and in 2021, 500,000 AIDS-related deaths are expected in Sub-Saharan Africa. While new infections have dropped by 38% in Africa, they have dramatically increased in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Latin America.

In a 1,250 word essay, analyze the political, economic, and social causes of differences in response to the AIDS Crisis. Why did it take so long to provide education and treatment options in less-developed parts of the world? What factors hampered the response even in developed countries? Has progress been made, and, if so, why?

Using at least 
seven of the documents below and 
two additional high-quality secondary sources and 
two additional primary sources related to the global response to the AIDS epidemic, summarize the historical context, and your conclusion regarding how governments and other organizations responded to the epidemic.  
Your essay must include at least one reference to each of seven of the sources provided, but please note that “at least one” does not mean “only one.” If you do not understand the distinction between primary and secondary sources, please ask your instructor or one of the U.C. reference librarians.  Historians typically use Chicago Manuel of Style, but I will accept other styles such as MLA or APA, just don’t plagiarize. The essay is worth 100 points.
