About This Book
Women make up 16 percent of total AIDS cases in the United States today, and the number of women with HIV disease is now growing at a faster rate than that of men.
Women are contracting HIV through heterosexual transmission faster than by any other means of transmission, including injection drug use. How did female cases in the United States grow from 43 in 1983 to over 2, 000 times that number 14.
Years later? What factors have influenced the course of the epidemic for women?
What has been the impact of this disease on women and on families? This book offers the first comprehensive sociological explanation.
