AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death among women of
childbearing age and is increasing by about 8% a year in this
group. * And yet, our understanding of the impact of HIV and AIDS
on women's lives remains fragmented and incomplete. After a decade
of struggling with mounting surveys of risk behavior, clinical
trials, and behavioral interventions that were based primarily on
experience with gay communities in large cities and, subsequently,
on the needs of injection drug users, we have not given programs
for women the attention they require if they are to be meaningful,
effective, and gender appropriate. This book will introduce the
reader to the range of complex issues of HIV and AIDS in women's
lives. Ann O'Leary and Loretta Sweet Jemmott have assembled an
impres sive list of authors who have contributed chapters from
different disciplinary viewpoints. The reader will find information
on prevention programs that have been effective for adolescent
girls, on culturally specific strategies for African American and
Latina women, and on the multiple issues of sub stance use and HIV
that need to be faced by any outreach and intervention programs for
drug-using women."
