- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study that determines the association of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) with relative changes in adult mortality in African focus countries. The study compares adult mortality in Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda and Rwanda with 18 African nonfocus countries between 2004 and 2008. It concludes that all-cause adult mortality in PEPFAR focus countries dropped significantly than in nonfocus countries. However, the association of PEPFAR with mortality effects separate from reductions in HIV-specific deaths was not determined.
