In much of the literature on HIV prevention and AIDS care, formal schooling is conceived of as the primary mechanism for "inoculating" children against the pandemic and meeting the needs of children and communities made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. Despite this growing focus on formal schooling as a "social vaccine", there is little evidence of how schools and children-particularly orphaned and vulnerable children-interact in highly-affected areas. This presentation will examine evidence from Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe on how children, schools, communities, and states currently interact. It will then examine international efforts, particularly US Federal efforts, to transform HIV/AIDS education in these settings. Lastly, it will present recommendations about how to improve the efficacy of an "educational vaccine" against HIV.

The talk focuses on the problem of sustainable access to medicines in the context of South Africa's HIV/AIDS pandemic. After giving a brief background to the present pandemic Professor Klug will discuss the various conditions; legal, political and social that undermine the ability of the health system to ensure a sustainable supply of needed medicines. He will also evaluate a range of arguments that have been made to either justify the existing structure of medicine supply or to deny that patents and other legal provisions are at all relevant to the problem of access to medicines or the failure to adequately address the ongoing crisis.
