This book examines the structural dynamics of HIV among populations
at heightened vulnerability to infection as the result of stigma,
discrimination and marginalization. It first examines how the
socio-structural context shapes HIV risk and how affected
populations and national governments and programs have responded to
these structural constraints. Chapters focus on structural
determinants of HIV risk among transgender women in Guatemala,
migrant workers in Mexico, Nigeria and Vietnam, and people who
inject drugs in Tanzania. Next, the book examines resilience and
community empowerment and mobilization among key populations such
as female sex workers in the Dominican Republic and India, and
young women and girls in Botswana, Malawi and Mozambique. A third
set of chapters explores how national responses to HIV have
addressed the role of structural factors in diverse political,
geographic and epidemic settings including: Brazil, South Africa,
Ukraine and the USA. Ultimately, effective and sustainable
responses to HIV among marginalized groups must be grounded in an
in-depth understanding of the factors that create vulnerability and
risk and impede access to services. Throughout, this book brings
together a rigorous social science research perspective with a
strong rights-based approach to inform improvements in HIV programs
and policies. It offers new insights into how to better address HIV
and the health and human rights of historically excluded
communities and groups.
