Book excerpt: Theoretical models for understanding AIDS in relation to society and the general question of high risk sexual practice, often the means of transmission of the virus, are among the issues discussed in this volume. It also explores the social context of policy and programme development in fighting AIDS - organizing drug users, forced blood-testing and family support groups, for example. Versions of these articles were originally delivered as papers in thematic sessions of the 1989 American Sociological Association annual meeting.

This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's "Black Death" contributed to the rise of nation states, mercantile economies, and even the Reformation. Will the AIDS epidemic have similar dramatic effects on the social and political landscape of the twenty-first century? This readable volume looks at the impact of AIDS since its emergence and suggests its effects in the next decade, when a million or more Americans will likely die of the disease. The Social Impact of AIDS in the United States addresses some of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the public debate over AIDS. This landmark book explores how AIDS has affected fundamental policies and practices in our major institutions, examining: How America's major religious organizations have dealt with sometimes conflicting values: the imperative of care for the sick versus traditional views of homosexuality and drug use. Hotly debated public health measures, such as HIV antibody testing and screening, tracing of sexual contacts, and quarantine. The potential risk of HIV infection to and from health care workers. How AIDS activists have brought about major change in the way new drugs are brought to the marketplace. The impact of AIDS on community-based organizations, from volunteers caring for individuals to the highly political ACT-UP organization. Coping with HIV infection in prisons. Two case studies shed light on HIV and the family relationship. One reports on some efforts to gain legal recognition for nonmarital relationships, and the other examines foster care programs for newborns with the HIV virus. A case study of New York City details how selected institutions interact to give what may be a picture of AIDS in the future. This clear and comprehensive presentation will be of interest to anyone concerned about AIDS and its impact on the country: health professionals, sociologists, psychologists, advocates for at-risk populations, and interested individuals.

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.

Many of the titles offer insight into contemporary research priorities and identify some of the opportunities open to those involved in care and health promotion.

Download or read book Community Interventions and AIDS written by Edison J. Trickett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As news headlines report staggering numbers of people infected with HIV or AIDS across the globe and as stereotypes of typical AIDS patients become less and less specific to particular sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds, the AIDS pandemic shows little sign of relenting. AIDS crosses geopolitical and social barriers, and social and behavioral scientists are confronted with the new challenge of developing scientific inquiry and corresponding interventions around participatory, community-based, and community-focused methods. These interventions are increasingly targeting the contextual influences on individual behavior, such as peer groups, social networks and support systems, and community norms. Community-level interventions also draw on local resources and are respectful of sociocultural circumstances and traditions. This book articulates how the social and behavioral sciences can respond to HIV/AIDS. It is written for all who have a stake in AIDS research, stimulating discussion and debate about the natures of community research and intervention broadly across such disciplines as public health, community health education, urban planning, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and philosophy of science. The book proposes alternative perspectives on means of ascertaining knowledge about the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the inclusion of community collaboration in interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994. This volume arises largely out of a meeting with the same title as part of efforts to disseminate the work of its AIDS Initiative. The meeting brought together over forty British, European and American researchers in the social and behavioural sciences, as well as those involved in policy, planning and evaluation, to discuss methodological aspects of social research in relation to HIV/AIDS. Of relevance to those seeking insight into the contribution that social research can make to the epidemic, this book is essential reading for all concerned with the social dimensions of health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa has been addressed and perceived predominantly through the broad perspectives of social and economic theories as well as public health and development discourses. This volume however, focuses on the micro-politics of illness, treatment and death in order to offer innovative insights into the complex processes that shape individual and community responses to AIDS. The contributions describe the dilemmas that families, communities and health professionals face and shed new light on the transformation of social and moral orders in African societies, which have been increasingly marginalised in the context of global modernity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, families and communities are key providers of care and support. This is particularly true in relation to serious illnesses such as HIV and AIDS. Yet families and communities can also stigmatize their members, leaving people to die in the most appalling conditions. This book looks at the diversity of family and community responses to HIV and AIDS. By examining contexts as diverse as nuclear, extended and refugee family households, and gay community networks and structures, it offers important insight into the factors which lead to positive responses and those which trigger negative ones.

This book was released on 1993-01-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instead, as persons with AIDS and their loved ones can painfully testify, those infected with HIV know long in advance what will come. And the nation will confront AIDS and its consequences for years. AIDS in the United States also differs from other "democratic" epidemics in its concentration among gay men and intravenous drug users and their sexual partners, with many HIV-positive persons being among the nation's most poor and disadvantaged. The disease characteristics of AIDS have posed challenges to the way we have traditionally delivered health care. It is affecting the nature and structure of voluntarism, as volunteers step in to fill gaps left by decreases in public health funding. The political organization of the gay community has resulted in new policy directions for the use of medical test results, availability of experimental drugs, and other privacy and public health issues.
