Social Networks, Drug Injectors' Lives, and HIV/AIDS recognizes HIV
as a socially structured disease - its transmission usually
requires intimate contact between individuals - and shows how
social networks shape high-risk behaviors and the spread of HIV.
The authors recount the groundbreaking use of social network
methods, ethnographic direct-observation techniques, and in-depth
interviews in their study of a drug-using community in Brooklyn,
New York. They provide a detailed documentary of the lives of
community members. They describe drug-use, the affects of poverty
and homelessness, the acquisition of money and drugs, and social
relationships within the group. Social Networks, Drug Injectors'
Lives, and HIV/AIDS shows that social networks and contexts are of
crucial importance in understanding and fighting the AIDS epidemic.
These findings should revitalize prevention efforts and reshape
social policy.
