When Edwin Cameron announced to a stunned local and international media that he - one of South Africa's most prominent citizens - was himself living with the HIV/AIDS virus cutting swathes through the population of the continent, the impact was immediate. In Witness to AIDS, Edwin Cameron’s compelling memoir, he grapples with the meaning of HIV/AIDS: for him as he confronts the possibility of his own lingering death, and for all of us in facing up to one of the most desperate challenges of our time.In his intensely personal account of survival, Cameron blends elements of his destitute childhood with his daily duties as a senior judge and international human rights lawyer, while focusing always on the epidemic's central issues: stigma, unjust discrimination, and, most vitally, the life-and-death question of access to treatment.Cameron's remarkable story of his own survival in an epidemic that has cost millions of lives is at once moving and uplifting, sobering and ultimately hopeful. 'This book will be a major contribution by a courageous South African towards that quest for a better life for all.' -- Nelson Mandela'Edwin Cameron’s book is important for all who want insight into the impact of AIDS on our world.Its portrayal of living with HIV is devastatingly honest – but it also inspires hope, because we have power to change the conditions of many millions in Africa and elsewhere who face death in the epidemic.' -- Elton John; EPUB \ Ray Grigg; Reference & Languages > Society & culture: general > Social issues & processes > Illness & addiction, Distributed via Smashwords<
