About the Book

In recent years, more testing and treatment have changed HIV epidemics in Africa, allowing most HIV-positive people to lead near normal lives. At the same time, with more HIV testing, hundreds of thousands of people are finding unexplained HIV infections in themselves, family members, and friends. Unexplained infections come from bloodborne risks - skin-piercing procedures - with unsterile instruments during health care and cosmetic procedures. Until someone finds and fixes those risks, they can continue to infect others. What can be done?

Stopping Bloodborne Risks describes how communities and governments around the world have investigated unexplained HIV infections to find other victims and to find and fix bloodborne risks. In some countries, private people and communities have started informal investigations. In others, people have appealed to governments, even protesting to national leaders. Individuals and communities can make a difference.
