This book was released on 1990-03-19 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the HIV virus was first identified as the cause of AIDS, basic research and epidemiological data have accumulated dramatically and rapidly. Yet, with all that is known about the virus, surprisingly little is known about precisely how it is actually transmitted. Focusing on the sexual transmission, prevention, and control of the HIV virus in heterosexuals, Heterosexual Transmission of AIDS examines the sexual mechanisms of transmission, including HIV interactions with sperm, semen, and cervical and vaginal secretions. Exploring the principle risk factors in heterosexual transmission of HIV, the book offers authoritative information on routes of transmission and discusses the impact of specific contraceptive methods in controlling the spread of the disease. Includes an overview of the biology of retroviruses and their pathogenicity and describes animal models for investigating HIV infection mechanisms and transmission prevention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research findings which are reported here, and the interventions which are suggested, are drawn from work with prostitutes, adolescents, discordant couples, and bisexual men. The chapters explore the way in which AIDS affects the heterosexual family, the way it permeates via the prison system, the range and extent of differing needs among sufferers, the role of alcohol and drugs in HIV infection and prevention, the impact of attitude studies, and HIV testing, counselling, and partner notification. The contributors, all experts in the field, are drawn from the USA, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Heterosexuals are the largest group affected by AIDS and HIV infection. As those affected have tended to come from the poorer, more disadvantaged social groups worldwide, however, they have received a disproportionately small degree of attention. This book is an attempt to adjust the imbalance. It takes a look at the epidemiology and psychosocial factors involved in the incidence of HIV in groups

Book excerpt: THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BOOK EVER WRITTEN ON THE HETEROSEXUAL TRANSMISSION OF HIV FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. Over 50,000 scientific articles were reviewed to obtain the most applicable material. Information extracted from the scientific literature has been "translated" into a language anybody can understand. The book begins by covering all aspects of the sexual transmission of the AIDS virus, including the role of intravenous drug use in the spread of infection. There are discussions on how rapidly the epidemic is spreading among heterosexuals, & the contribution of this spread by sexual contacts with prostitutes. The latter half of the book focuses on the issue of risk control to prevent infection. Detailed coverage of the most current preventive measures against HIV infection is provided, so the reader can more fully utilize the knowledge gained in the earlier chapters to protect himself or herself. The material presented is applicable to any sexually-active individual. However, emphasis has been directed towards persons of 16-25 years of age, where the epidemic is spreading uncontrolled. Main health care professionals (nurses, sex therapists, counseling psychologists, & clinical social workers, etc.) will also benefit from this compendium of important facts on AIDS, many of which have never been published.

Download or read book HIV and the Blood Supply written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-10-05 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was doneâ€"and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area: Product treatmentâ€"Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner? Donor screening and referralâ€"including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated bloodâ€"analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communicationâ€"examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.

The spread of new pathogens and the threat of antimicrobial resistance pose particular challenges in combating these diseases. Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV is spreading rapidly, and effective treatments continue to elude science. Preventive interventions are now our best defense against the epidemicâ€"but they require a clear understanding of the behavioral and mental health aspects of HIV infection and AIDS. AIDS and Behavior provides an update of what investigators in the biobehavioral, psychological, and social sciences have discovered recently about those aspects of the disease and offers specific recommendations for research directions and priorities. This volume candidly discusses the sexual and drug-use behaviors that promote transmission of HIV and reports on the latest efforts to monitor the epidemic in its social contexts. The committee reviews new findings on how and why risky behaviors occur and efforts to develop strategies for changing such behaviors. The volume presents findings on the disease's progression and on the psychosocial impacts of HIV and AIDS, with a view toward intervention and improved caregiving. AIDS and Behavior also evaluates the status of behavioral and prevention aspects of AIDS research at the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. The volume presents background on the three institutes; their recent reorganization; their research budgets, programs, and priorities; and other important details. The committee offers specific recommendations for the institutes concerning the balance between biomedical and behavioral investigations, adequacy of administrative structures, and other research management issues. Anyone interested in the continuing quest for new knowledge on preventing HIV and AIDS will want to own this book: policymakers, researchers, research administrators, public health professionals, psychologists, AIDS advocates and service providers, faculty, and students.

Download or read book Women, Families and HIV/AIDS written by Carole A. Campbell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carole Campbell examines the position of women in the AIDS epidemic (women living with HIV, and women caring for HIV-infected family members) in a sociocultural context. Campbell draws a connection among women's risk of AIDS, gender roles (particularly adolescent gender role socialization), and male sexual behavior, demonstrating that efforts to contain the spread of the disease to females must also target the male behavior that puts women at risk. This study concludes that compared with men, HIV-infected women face unequal access to care and unequal quality of care. Informed by the moving personal accounts of eleven HIV-infected men and women, this book offers a rare, broad picture of the sociocultural causes and the impact on American society of AIDS among women.
