This book examines the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States using
the concept of syndemics to contextualize the risk of both
well-known, and a few lesser-known, subpopulations that experience
disproportionately high rates of HIV and/or AIDS within the United
States. Since discovery, HIV/AIDS has exposed a number of social,
psychological, and biological aspects of disease transmission. The
concept of "syndemics," or "synergistically interacting epidemics"
has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding both the
epidemiological patterns and the myriad of problems associated with
HIV/AIDS around the world and within the United States. The book
considers the disparities in HIV/AIDS in relation to social
aspects, risk behavior and critical illness comorbidities. It
updates and enhances our understanding of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in
the United States and contributes to the expanding literature on
the role of syndemics in shaping the public's health.
