 AB    As it becomes clear that national actions alone will not handle the AIDS
       epidemic, more responsibility is being given to communities, whose
       characteristics lend themselves to coping with the complicated aspects
       of the AIDS epidemic. But community members cannot handle the
       AIDS-related problems alone. They need help in overcoming the fear and
       stigma; bridging the geographical distances; confronting the double
       trouble of HIV and TB; and sharing the disproportionate burden of care
       on women. Below, community responses to AIDS in Africa and some lessons
       learned.
