In this health policy discussion, AEI resident scholar Nicholas Eberstadt reports on his recent study about the threat of HIV/AIDS in Eurasia, an area of the world that contains 60% of the world's population. He looks in detail at three Eurasia countries--India, China, and Russia--and what we know about the facts that will affect the future spread of HIV/AIDS in each. kaisernetwork.org, November 25, 2002 "The Future of HIV/AIDS" According to the article's author, Nicholas Eberstadt, HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eurasia "threatens to derail the economic prospects of billions and alter the global military balance." According to the article, the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eurasia -- defined in the article as the region encompassing Asia and Russia -- will be "[d]riven" by the spread of HIV in the territory's three largest countries: China, India and Russia. The spread of HIV in Eurasia will have "major worldwide repercussions" because the continent is home to most of the world's population, hosts a sizable military and has "substantial economic weight" in the international arena.
