This book investigates the complex and often fraught relationship between the World Bank and its engagement with the global HIV/AIDS pandemic. It examines how a major international financial institution navigates and influences public health crises, particularly in developing nations. The work analyzes the Bank's evolving policies, funding mechanisms, and the political and economic factors that shape its response to HIV/AIDS over time.

This book is likely to be regarded as a critical examination of the World Bank's role in global health, particularly concerning its approach to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It offers an in-depth analysis of the institution's policies and their real-world consequences. The work is expected to appeal to scholars and policymakers interested in international development, global health governance, and the intersection of finance and public health.
