Since nearly the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, activists have
signaled the inadequacy of prevention strategies and drug protocols
that have been developed from research done primarily on men. The
latest C.D.C. figures prove they were right; for the first time
since the beginning of the epidemic, AIDS cases among white men
have fallen, yet the largest increases are among women.
Weaving together theoretical, critical, and practical perspectives,
"Gendered Epidemic" is a collection of essays that questions the
"add women and stir" model that governs most HIV/AIDS prevention
and treatment efforts. The individual essays describe conflicts and
contradictions, and pose new theories and practices. Written by HIV
positive women, theorists, teachers, artists, policy makers and
activists, it offers insights necessary to stem the spread of HIV.
