Title: AIDS
First published: 1996
Description: "New information about scientific and social aspects of AIDS appears daily in the news and popular press. Yet, despite the best efforts of medical professions, there is no quick biological solution in sight. For more than a decade, our society has been forced to confront the human suffering, fear, discrimination, and health care issues that this epidemic has provoked." "AIDS: Science and Society helps the general reader generate informed opinions and decisions about AIDS-related issues. A conceptual framework for the issues raised by AIDS is introduced, and risk assessment, prevention, and models of behavior change are presented. This text is a valuable resource to all those who would like to learn more about AIDS but find medical literature too technical. The latest information on the biological underpinnings of AIDS and clinical therapies are explained clearly."--BOOK JACKET.
