 | AIDS: Responses, Interventions and Care | The fourth conference on Social Aspects of AIDS took place at South Bank Polytechnic in London in March 1990, attracting a wide range of social researchers, health and social services workers and members of statutory and voluntary organizations working in the field of HIV/AIDS. The themes of the conference emphasized popular and professional responses to the epidemic, national and local interventions, and issues of care. This books, like its predecessors (Social Aspects of AIDS, 1988; AIDS: Social Representations, Social Practices, 1989; AIDS: Individual, Cultural and Policy Dimensions, 1990) contains many of the papers given at the conference. They identify the present research priorities of sociologists, psychologists, educationalists and cultural theorists. They also demonstrate the diversity of work that is currently underway, as well as the quality of individual research initiatives. Rarely has so much energy been expended so productively in the pursuit of a common set of goals. | ||

 | Aids: Safety, Sexuality and Risk | Some 12 years into the epidemic, with an effective preventive vaccine or therapy against HIV disease still to be found, this book reflects on the contributions of social and behavioural research to the development of interventions for prevention. After over a decade's work documenting HIV and AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour, social researchers have begun to focus more clearly on perceptions of sexual safety and risk, and the factors that contribute to these. The issues addressed by the book were examined during three major conferences in 1994: the annual conference of the British Sociological Association, the 2nd International Conference on the BioPsychoSocial Aspects of AIDS and the Xth International Conference on AIDS. The book brings together key papers presented at each of these conferences, documenting issues of focal concern to social researchers, policy makers and health educators in the mid-1990s. | ||

 | Bisexualities and AIDS: International Perspectives | Since early-on in the epidemic, there has been much interest in the role that bisexual behaviour among men may play in HIV transmission. This text reviews from an international perspective what has been learned about male bisexuality in countries as diverse as Peru and Britain. Its authors examine the forms that bisexuality takes in different cultures, what it means to the men concerned, and whether or not such behaviour poses special risks. The implications of such enquiry for HIV prevention efforts are also examined. | ||

 | AIDS and the New Puritanism | "Aids and the New Puritanism is the first comprehensive account of the personal, social and political impact of Aids on an international scale. There will be many other studies of Aids. There is unlikely to be one as intelligent, incisive and sympathetic... Dennis Altman's book deserves to be widely read as an anatomy of fear and testament of hope." Jeffrey Weeks Dennis Altman's personal and political account begins with the Aids panic in the USA. Then he looks at the construction of a "plague", the exploitative media coverage, the ambiguous response of the medical profession and the mobilizing of the gay community. An assessment of the international dimension of the disease ends this moving book. | ||

 | Sex, Gay Men and AIDS | An understanding of all aspects of sexual behaviour is essential to the development of effective approaches to HIV prevention. Sex, Gay Men and AIDS reports on the largest empirical study of male homosexual behaviour in the UK since the work of Schofield in the 1960s. It contains findings from Project SIGMA - which is the major British study of this kind in the AIDS field, funded by the Department of Health and the Medical Research Council. Using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, the authors have developed important new theories about sexuality, which expose unhelpful stereotypes about male homosexuality and challenge outdates theories and assumptions about AIDS. Sex, Gay Men and AIDS presents the latest research on the knowledge of HIV, attitudes to AIDS and the uptake of safer sex practices. During the research period, information from over 1000 gay and bisexual men was examined, and behavioural changes in response to HIV/AIDS was monitored over a four year period (1987-19... | ||

 | AIDS: Setting A Feminist Agenda | AIDS: Setting a Feminist Agenda" presents an overview of the important issues raised for feminist theory and practice by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and outlines the direction in which feminist debates about the subject are developing. It makes essential links between feminism and HIV/AIDS work, and not only demonstrates that AIDS is a feminist issue, but also suggests areas where feminism is long overdue. The essays discuss medical issues; the specific social and political impact of HIV/AIDS on the lives of women of colour, lesbians, injecting drug users and prostitute women; and current educational and health promotional practice as it relates to women. The volume is theoretical and practical - suggesting theoretical models for understanding and challenging the social factors which are conducive to the spread of HIV among women and among men, as well as offering models of good practice for working with and for women. | ||

 | End of Innocence: Britain in the Time of AIDS | Published to coincide with World AIDS Day, this book looks at a decade of AIDS in Britain. As well as the 8000 who have died, some 20,000 are infected with HIV, and many more carry the virus unknowingly. With no cure or even a vaccine in sight, and growing evidence of complacency, AIDS is still one of the greatest post-war challenges the UK faces. This book covers every significant development of the disease, from the early ignorance and panic to the emergence of AIDS as a good cause taken up by Sir Ian McKellen, George Michael and the Princess of Wales. The author uses information supplied by doctors, scientists, government ministers and civil servants, as well as interviews with leading entertainment figures such as Stephen Fry, Elton John and the late Derek Jarman. | ||

 | Vamps, Virgins, and Victims: How Can Women Fight AIDS? | The first woman with AIDS in England was diagnosed in 1983. A decade later over 3000 women are infected with HIV. New cases of both HIV and AIDS increase at a faster rate in women than men. Bizarrely most discussions of women and AIDS are manipulated to promote the notion of "heterosexual AIDS" and so conceal the true impact AIDS has on women. In this groundbreaking analysis Robin Gorna demonstrates that AIDS is a "queer" disease which affects "others" - and women are in the front line as HIV moves beyond core groups. Women are vulnerable to HIV biologically, socially and economically. The realities are ignored while women are portrayed as Vamps - with uncontrollable sexual urges - or as Virgins - pure, untainted and hating sex - or as passive, innocent Victims. VAMPS, VIRGINS AND VICTIMS presents challenging new interpretations of how women acquire and transmit HIV, and the effects of HIV and AIDS on women's lives and bodies. The urgency of HIV prevention has controversial implicati... | ||

 | AIDS And the Good Society | Over 250,000 people, it is estimated, have or have had AIDS, and 5 to 10 million may be infected with HIV, the virus linked to AIDS. As well as scientific and medical problems, HIV/AIDS also raises profound social and moral issues. Faces with a fatal disease of epidemic proportions, social policy makers must meet the challenge of developing policies which will contain the spread of this virus while at the same time protecting the liberty of individuals. This book marshals ethical arguments for and against an interventionist social policy on AIDS. Starting from the position that human beings have the capacity to choose freely, to be autonomous, Patricia Illingworth argues that gay men and IV drug-users who have HIV/AIDS have been wronged by society. Discrimination, stereotyping, and paternalistic legislation have played a crucial role in diminishing the autonomy of gay men and IV drug-users, and have created an environment in which gay men and IV drug-users are forced to adopt lifestyl... | ||

 | Safety in Numbers: Safer Sex and Gay Men | Gay men remain the group primarily affected by the AIDS epidemic in most industrialized courntries. Although governments and AIDS organizations increasingly stress the dangers of a heterosexual HIV epidemic, it is gay men who are still bearing the brunt of the crisis. In the 1980s gay men pioneered safer sex campaigns, long before governments responded. Rates of HIV transmission were drastically reduced through the most successful health-related behaviour changes in history. Today, however, the challenge for health educators is to understand the early successses and to translate them into new and equally effective strategies. This unprecedented book provides a comprehensive overview of safer sex education for gay men. It offers a critical analysis of the professionalization and de-gaying of AIDS education in recent years and demonstrates conclusively how those at greatest risk from HIV havve become the most neglected. By looking back over the successes of the past, it provides and ac... | ||

 | AIDS: Sharing the Pain | Here is a practical but sensetive book offering guidelines for the pastoral care of those infected by the human immuno-deficiency virus - HIV. It explores the difficulties of those who are going through the differing stages from the initial infection to "full-blown" AIDS. At all times, the author's positive approach is based on his own experience in attempting to care with and for those who are infected and for their partner, families and friends. He writes as a strong advocate for an understanding, accepting and caring attitude towards all concerned in this viral problem. He makes an inescapable case for a change of heart form most quarters and the strength of his argument cannot be denied. The author's insights act as guidelines towards a sharing of the pain of AIDS. This is a spiritual book that is also practical and informative. | ||

 | Growing Up Positive | This is a collection of stories about the real experiences of young people and their families, and how they have grown up having to face the realities of AIDS. The stories - from places including Uganda, South Africa, Birmingham, Edrinburgh and London - reflect the many issues affecting today's young people: drug use, prison, suicide, running away from home, coming to terms with sexuality, physical abuse, and seeking poilitical assylum. From a dozen interviews with young people affected by AIDS, and with the counsellors, priests, youth workers and parents who work with them, this book reveals the broader picture of how young people see AIDS and HIV, how it has impacted on their lives, and how it has affected their ideas and futures. | ||

 | Positive Carers | This work examines the media's role in generating an unnecessary fear of HIV positive health care workers. There is not one safely proven case of HIV being transmitted from a health care worker to patient anywhere in the world, yet much fear surrounds the HIV-infected care worker. The book provides a reasoned clinical debate on individual managerial and state accountability in health care, looking at the practicality of continuing employment after diagnosis and exploring the dilemmas a worker may face. | ||

In this expose of one of the most important issues of our time, the author answers this question - revealing how the federal government put its budgetary concerns ahead of the nation's welfare, how health authorities placed political expediency before public health, and how some scientists valued national prestige more than saving lives. | ||

 | AIDS and Employment Law | AIDS has already become an unavoidable issue in the work environment for employers and employees alike. The implications of AIDS in such areas as discrimination, confidentiality, health and safety are yet to be fully understood, and attention is increasingly focused on the role of emplyment law. This is the first book to tackle this controversial and emotional subject. The authors have taken a serious and sympathetic look at the problems faced both by employers and employees. They have not avoided areas of contention, nor have they tried to exaggerate the problems. This book will become required reading for lawyers, personnel managers and trade unions, and will of course provide help and advice to AIDS sufferers. It includes a look at the AIDS policies of some of the major UK companies and a contribution from Dr. Mark Baker giving the medical facts about AIDS. | ||

 | Understanding AIDS | AIDS has become swiftly and forcibly embedded in our lives, yet much about the disease is still poorly understood. This book aims to redress the balance, describing in detail the nature of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and of AIDS itself, though not at the expense of answering the most basic questions - "Are AIDS tests reliable?", "Can men catch AIDS from women?", "Can you get AIDS at the dentist?" Immunologist John Starkie, together with Rodney Dale, explains how AIDS spreads and what its geographical sweep has been, and also gives a summary of the treatments available. For anyone having to cope with the impact of being HIV-positive and perhaps developing AIDS there is plenty of advice, plus a list of sources of help, including helpline telephone numbers. | ||
