Abstract
The focus of this and the following two chapters is the NP government’s response to HIV and AIDS. This chapter covers the broad public policy environment in which HIV and AIDS first appeared in South Africa; chapter 3 discusses the biomedical and workplace responses to the nascent epidemic; and chapter 4 concludes the focus on the NP years by setting out the legal and public sector responses.
Officialdom can never cope with something really catastrophic.
