Description: HIV Disease: Lesbians, Gays, and the Social Services highlights the inherent strengths and tensions of the gay and lesbian community, creating a mosaic of issues to be considered as the response to HIV/AIDS matures. The book represents the diversity of the gay and lesbian community and discusses the myriad responses of lesbians and gay men to the personal and social impact of HIV disease.

Knowledgeable contributing authors convey their unique perspectives on lesbians and gays as organizers, caregivers, and researchers, drawing freely upon their rich and varied experience and presenting it in a personal way. HIV Disease: Lesbians, Gays, and the Social Services is an ideal guide for readers who have some factual knowledge about HIV disease but wish to know more about helping individuals affected by HIV and AIDS.
