Description

This readable volume looks at the many nonmedical effects of AIDS and addresses some of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the public debate over AIDS. It explores how HIV and AIDS have affected fundamental policies and practices in some of the country's major institutions, how major religious organizations have dealt with often conflicting values, the potential risk of HIV infection to and from health care workers, the rise of voluntary organizations, coping with HIV infection in prisons, and more.

Reviews

"Social Impact provides a succinct summary of law and policy on the AIDS pandemic, including the reactions of religious groups and the special needs of women, HIV positive children, and intravenous drug users, topics rarely addressed in AIDS literature." --Michigan Journal of International Law
