Understanding the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the United States
Author: Eric R. Wright
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319816531
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This book examines the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States using the concept of syndemics to contextualize the risk of both well-known, and a few lesser-known, subpopulations that experience disproportionately high rates of HIV and/or AIDS within the United States. Since discovery, HIV/AIDS has exposed a number of social, psychological, and biological aspects of disease transmission. The concept of “syndemics,” or “synergistically interacting epidemics” has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding both the epidemiological patterns and the myriad of problems associated with HIV/AIDS around the world and within the United States. The book considers the disparities in HIV/AIDS in relation to social aspects, risk behavior and critical illness comorbidities. It updates and enhances our understanding of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States and contributes to the expanding literature on the role of syndemics in shaping the public’s health.

Understanding AIDS
Author: Seth C. Kalichman
Publisher: Amer Psychological Assn
ISBN: 9781557985293
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
This volume, first released in 1996, was written to provide mental health professionals with a single source of information on the medical, social and psychological aspects of HIV-AIDS. It remains the only authored book concerning the psychology of AIDS that is thoroughly grounded in the empirical literature. With this extensively revised second edition, author Seth C. Kalichman explains the many significant advances in research on how the virus works and on immune responses to HIV, and he discusses the revolutionary treatments for HIV infection that have increased both life-span and quality of life for increasingly large numbers of patients living with HIV-positive and AIDS diagnoses. Kalichman also focuses impressive attention on new insights regarding psychological reactions to HIV-AIDS, coping and adjusting, and psychological treatments as well as slowly growing literature on women, children and minorities with AIDS and on sexual adjustment after diagnosis.

Pages : 421
Book Description
Understanding AIDS was written to provide a broad overview of HIV infection and AIDS based on the empirical literature for psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals. The book is not solely intended for practitioners who wish to specialize in caring for persons affected by HIV. Rather, the author's hope is that all clinicians will have adequate knowledge and sensitivity to HIV-AIDS and its related issues. Because the research literature is rapidly expanding, and because some empirical studies may have missed their mark in explaining aspects of HIV-related experiences, 63 men and women of diverse ethnic and HIV-risk backgrounds were interviewed as part of the research for this book. Their experiences help place the empirical literature in proper perspective.
