The wisdom of whores : bureaucrats, brothels and the business of AIDS

Epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani says we have the knowledge, the money, and the means to wipe out AIDS in 90 percent of the world. So why haven't we done it? This sure to be controversial book addresses the measures needed to control the disease - not impossible, just unpopular. "It would mean spending lots more of the available money on prostitutes, addicts, and gay guys, and lots less on school kids, pregnant women, and church groups. It would mean making fun things (sex, drugs) safe, instead of trying to make safe things (abstinence, monogamy) fun."

  • "In "The Wisdom of Whores", epidemiologist Elizabeth Pisani brings honesty, wit and startling pragmatism to the tawdry front lines of sex and drugs. She explains how we could shut down HIV in most of the world with a few simple steps, with less money than we already have. We could do it now. But shockingly, it isn't happening. From the back streets to the boardrooms, politics, ideology and cash have bulldozed through scientific evidence and common sense. "The Wisdom of Whores" is both a riveting expose of the AIDS industry and a penetrating analysis of where we've gone wrong."
