Description: "Solid study on the growth of risk groups and on the sexual behaviors associated with AIDS; the stigmatizing quality of the sickness; and the institutional responses by public health and other officials in Honduras, which harbors three-fifths of all Central American  AIDS cases. Unlike the US pattern, cases are fully one-third female. Skilled male laborers are also hard hit, as are ages 20-40, and heterosexuals of both sexes (c. 70 percent of all cases), the last generally not drug-related in origin"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
