Now we're just letting them die' - Pieter Dirk Uys,satirist Why do peopleknowingly risk a slow and painful premature death? People explain in their own words.

Free condoms, treatment for sexually transmitted infections and education and awareness programmes were all provided. If any intervention was to have had a measurable impact, this should have been the one. Can women be taught the skills for negotiating safe sex? Three women die for every two men. The author's experience is drawn from a period of five years. She writes vividly - even at times in a raw manner. What are the lessons within Africa and across the world?
