Three decades into the HIV pandemic, the goals remain clear: reduce
the number of infections, improve the health outcomes of those who
are infected, and eliminate disparities in care. And one
observation continues to gain credence: families are a powerful
resource in preventing, adapting to, and coping with HIV.
Recognizing their complex role as educators, mentors, and
caregivers, Family and HIV/AIDS assembles a wealth of findings from
successful prevention and intervention strategies and provides
models for translating evidence into effective real-world practice.
Chapters spotlight the differing roles of mothers and fathers in
prevention efforts, clarify the need for family/community
collaborations, and examine core issues of culture, ethnicity,
gender, and diagnosis (e.g., minority families, adolescents with
psychological disorders). Throughout, risk reduction and health
promotion are shown as a viable public health strategy A reference
with considerable utility across the health, mental health, and
related disciplines, Family and HIV/AIDS will be a go-to resource
for practitioners working with families, researchers studying
at-risk populations, administrators seeking to create new (or
evaluate existing)prevention and care programs, and policymakers
involved in funding such programs."
