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

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the AIDS pandemic has propagated so widely and exerted such a dev astating impact that one may properly ask the question, Why not concentrate all AIDS efforts on disease control alone? Why link AIDS with women's reproductive health? What is the scientific basis for this linkage? And how might AID~ control and women's health objectives be promot ed simultaneously? These questions constitute the principal themes addressed in this monograph. The 15 chapters in this volume are intended to provide state-of-the-art reviews of key interac tions between AIDS and women's reproductive health for an audience of scientists and policy makers in the AIDS and population fields. Impetus for this monograph comes in pan from what we perceive to be an inadequate global response, thus far, to AIDS and women's health ;>roblems. A common platform has failed to emerge among the disparate professional communities working in the areas of AIDS, STDs, and family planning. As a result, endeavors in these fields have been isolated, and opportunities for joint action have been missed. An enormous and, as yet, unharnessed potential exists for power ful interdisciplinary collaborations that could strengthen policies and programs against these pressing health problems of humankind.

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.

This book was released on 1997-05-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of key contributions to the discussion on the psychological and social implications on HIV infection. It contains up-to-date and authoritative papers by senior practitioners and researchers in the field of the psychological and social aspects of HIV infection. The book will appeal to those involved in providing care for people with HIV infections, be they physicians and nurses or psychologists, social workers and psychiatrists, as well as those involved in preventing the spread of the HIV infection. From the start of the HIV epidemic, the psychological and social aspects of the AIDS infection have been recognized. What could have been regarded simply as an infectious disease was soon acknowledged as a global problem that raised important issues about its transmission and prevention; economic, ethical and legal questions regarding the mental health consequences and the need for access to medical and social care.

Book excerpt: Politicians, interest groups, and the mass media often answer questions about how AIDS is sexually transmitted as if heterosexual vaginal intercourse is a high-risk activity. When it comes to understanding how AIDS is transmitted, and formulating effective policy to deal with the spread of AIDS, America remains confused. What Brody calls ideological knowledge about AIDS is far more likely to filter through society than scientific knowledge. Sex at Risk is a comprehensive review of the scientific literature dealing with. the transmission of AIDS. Like Michael Fumento's The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS, it exposes the mythology surrounding vaginal intercourse and AIDS transmission, Brody also looks deeply at reasons that fear of AIDS transmission from vaginal intercourse has spread so widely and profoundly, He addresses serious methodological problems in AIDS/HIV behavioral research, as well as tendentious political correctness that has done a disservice to science. Sex at Risk also comprehensively reviews the international research literature on correlates of lifetime number of sexual partners and frequency of sexual intercourse. Among topics covered are: relationships between lifetime number of sexual partners and mental health, explanations for important differences between intercourse and masturbation, the possible association of frequency with healthy functioning, and correlations between frequency and national development. Brody concludes by discussing what AIDS reveals about how politically correct thought impedes scientific progress, when taboo themes, regardless of their validity, cannot be pursued, Sex at Risk is factually grounded, yet controversial. Brody raises critical questions about much of what we have learned about AIDS from popular and professional publications, "soft scientists," and public health campaigns. It will be of interest to medical doctors, clinicians, and those interested in the sociology and psychology of knowledge.

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.
