Book Description:
|
This diverse text looks at the troubling, topical issue of HIV from several angles and provides a significant contribution to the literature on the subject. The contributors illustrate clearly the social and legal issues faced by the protagonists in the HIV challenge and the viewpoints of the policy makers, who must not only encourage new, more rights-sensitive laws but also counter societal prejudices that militate against transformational initiatives.
