South Sudan: HIV/AIDS Is a Threat to National Security
The Juba-based Sudd Institute published on 22 July 2014 a policy brief titled "HIV/AIDS: A Threat to National Security in South Sudan" by Awak Deng Bior, a deputy administrator at the Sudd Institute. The author suggests there is an increasing HIV/AIDS incidence in South Sudan as a result of years of war. The country also lacks efficient HIV/AIDS testing and monitoring systems that could help track the spread of the virus.
