"Nothing new": responses to the introduction of antiretroviral drugs in South Africa. AIDS, 20 (15): 1975-19860269-9370http://hdl.handle.net/10566/478Interviews conducted in South Africa found that awareness of antiretroviral therapy was generally poor. Antiretroviral drugs were not perceived as new, but one of many alternative therapies for HIV/AIDS. Respondents had more detailed knowledge of indications, effects and how to access alternative treatments, which is bolstered by the active promotion and legitimization of alternative treatments. Many expressed a lack of excitement about the introduction of antiretroviral therapy, and little change in their attitudes concerning the epidemic.enThis is the author postprint version of an article published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
