This wide-ranging volume reviews the experience and treatment of
HIV/AIDS in rural America at the clinical, care system, community,
and individual levels. Rural HIV-related phenomena are explored
within healthcare contexts (physician shortages, treatment
disparities) and the social environment (stigma, the opioid
epidemic), and contrasted with urban frames of reference.
Contributors present latest findings on HIV medications, best
practices, and innovative opportunities for improving care and care
settings, plus invaluable first-person perspective on the
intersectionality of patient subpopulations. These chapters offer
both seasoned and training practitioners a thorough grounding in
the unique challenges of providing appropriate and effective
services in the region. Featured topics include: Case study:
Georgia's rural vs. non-rural populations HIV medications: how they
work and why they fail Pediatric/adolescent HIV: legal and ethical
issues Our experience: HIV-positive African-American women in the
Deep South Learning to age successfully with HIV Bringing important
detail to an often-marginalized population, HIV/AIDS in Rural
Communities will interest and inspire healthcare practitioners
including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
pharmacists, case managers, psychologists, social workers,
counselors, and family therapists, as well as educators, students,
persons living with HIV, advocates, community leaders, and
policymakers.
