This book provides a comprehensive overview of the most important
themes in German HIV/AIDS prevention and care from the beginning of
the epidemic to the present. Multidisciplinary in approach, it
highlights the unique contributions of Germany to AIDS work, making
available for the first time knowledge which can be applied to
other countries as well as to other fields of public health
practice. Topics discussed include: *structural prevention, a
concept which unites political and behavioural change *the
synchronistic relationship between AIDS policy and gay politics
*the dominance of love and intimacy over other 'risk factors' *an
approach to prevention among drug users which emphasis human rights
and accepts the using behaviour *a unique partnership between
public authorities and the voluntary sector *services for women
working in cross-national border prostitution *an AIDS survivor
syndrome among gay men *HIV in the context of emotional risks taken
by women in relationships. In addition, specifically German themes
are described, including special needs of gay men from the former
East Germany, the difficulties of providing adequate outpatient
care for people with HIV/AIDS and the history of the AIDS
prevention debate in Germany. The book offers medical, nursing,
public health, sociological, psychological and social work
perspectives on the German response to AIDS.
