Les connaissances utiles à la lutte contre le virus de l’immunideficience humaine (VIH) et le sida en Afrique subsaharienne ne sont pas toutes extrapolables a partir des donnees issues des pays industrialises. Cet article tente de passer en revue les specificites de l’epidemie africaine en termes d’epidemiologie, d’histoire naturelle, d’interventions therapeutiques validees et de questions restant a explorer. Loin d’etre demunis d’outils efficaces et de pistes de recherches pour lutter contre ce fleau qui decime un continent, nous sommes aujourd’hui avant tout confrontes a un deficit de mobilisation et de moyens.
Abstract
Knowledge useful to the fight against HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa cannot be extrapolated to those coming from industrialized countries. The aim of this article is to review specificities of the African epidemy, in terms of epidiomolgy, natural history, validated therapeutic interventions, and unexplored questions. Far from being without effective tools and research tracks to fight against this plague which decimates a continent, one is above all confronted with a deficit of both mobilization and means.
