Description: From the start of the AIDS epidemic there have been calls for greater solidarity between affected groups and communities, and public health services. This can be seen both in the move towards alliances in health service work, and in the demands of AIDS activists worldwide. This book brings together specially selected papers addressing these and related themes given at the 8th International Conference on the Social Aspects of AIDS held in London in late 1995.

Among the issues examined are professional and policy concerns; the heightened vulnerability of groups such as women and younger gay men, and issues of drug use, disability and HIV prevention. Of relevance to everyone interested in AIDS, and a key reference work for social researchers and health promotion workers, AIDS: Activism and Alliances is a state of the art anthology containing papers from some of the most respected writers working in the field today.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
Papers presented at the eighth Conference on Social Aspects of AIDS held in September 1995 in London.
