Description:
''A highly recommended book for all libraries.'' --- AIDS Book Review Journal, November 1997 ''This book should be used by researchers and public health providers. The contributors know their topics, generally write in a succinct manner, and have common sense suggestions based on thoughtful observation and analysis...this book provides important documentation of why public health issues must include attention to power and women's role.'' --- Journal of Feminist Family Therapy ''Readable, well-documented, and humane.'' --- Readings Although women were understudied in the early years of the epidemic, research and practice devoted to understanding and ameliorating the effects of the AIDS epidemic have begun in recent years. Women and AIDS is the first comprehensive exploration of the medical and psychosocial concerns and issues surrounding women living with HIV/AIDS. Contributors address the biomedical aspects of the disease, stress and coping factors, reproductive and childcare issues, access to care, needs of special populations such as drug-using women and adolescents, and policy recommendations. Researchers and students in psychology, public health, medicine, nursing, sociology, women's studies, and social work will appreciate this reference.
