Gender and HIV/AIDS : Critical Perspectives from the Developing World Hardback
by Nana K. Poku
Edited by Jelke Boesten
Part of the Routledge Global Health Series series
Hardback
Description
Gender issues are central to the causes and impact of the ongoing AIDS epidemic.
The editors bring together cutting edge contemporary scholarship on gender and AIDS in one volume.
They address questions related to gender and sexuality, how women and men live the epidemic differently and how such differences lead to different outcomes.
The volume joins research on Africa, Asia and Latin America and illustrates how the epidemic has different gendered characteristics, causes and consequences in different regions.
Collectively, the chapters demonstrate the fundamental ways that gender influences the spread of the disease, its impact and the success of prevention efforts. This scholarly, interdisciplinary volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the themes and issues of gender, AIDS and global public health and informs students, policy makers and practitioners of the complexity of the gendered nature of AIDS.
