The tragedies arising from HIV and AIDS are problems faced on
every continent in the world. Case studies of carefully selected
countries, representative of every region of the world, are
presented in this unique volume. Students, teachers, and
researchers can make cross-cultural comparisons to discover how the
problem is viewed in different countries, how the problem is
changing, what kinds of research is being conducted worldwide to
find appropriate interventions for the problem and other details of
how this disease affects different societies.
Each chapter is divided into similar subsections including the
history of HIV and AIDS, the prevalence of HIV and AIDS, public and
political views of the problem, and preventative measures. Readers
can choose one or more of these aspects and compare how each
differs from country to country. Here they will find that
perceptions of the problem and the perceptions of degree to which
people are taking preventative measures against the disease does
not always reflect the reality. This worldview will help students
and scholars to think critically about how building a better
understanding of how a specific social issue is viewed and handled
worldwide can help build a better world community.
