The history, symptoms, prevention, and current issues surrounding
HIV and AIDS are discussed, along with a focus on special
populations struggling with the disease. Once thought to be a
disease of homosexuals and drug abusers, AIDS has now impacted
people across cultures, genders, and sexual orientations. Despite
activism, new research, and treatments, many people are still dying
from this disease. HIV/AIDS offers a comprehensive, one-volume
resource that traces the history of the disease, and discusses
prevention, along with current research and treatment. It examines
issues such as care giving, health care settings, human rights,
pregnancy, and insurance. The incidence and prognosis for the
disease among special populations, as well as their needs and
struggles, are covered in detail. These groups include: drug and
alcohol abusers, the gay and lesbian community, minority
communities, pediatric patients, prisoners, senior citizens, and
women. With education the key to both prevention and care of those
infected, this volume is an invaluable resource for students and
general readers.
