In line with its mission of promoting social
justice and equality, ACORD decided to undertake research aimed at
assessing the extent to which the poorest and most marginalised
communities are able to access and benefit from ARVs within sub-Saharan
Africa.
A further objective of the research was to look
into community and intra-household dynamics to gain insights into
issues, such as the influence of gender on who gains access to ARVs and
the impact of ARVs on HIV/AIDS-related stigma and on relations with
community, friends and family.
