Description
There is an inherently powerful and complex paradox underlying HIV/AIDS prevention - between the focus on collective advocacy mobilized to combat the disease globally and the staggeringly disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS in many places. In Treating AIDS, Thurka Sangaramoorthy examines the everyday practices of HIV/AIDS prevention in the United States from the perspective of AIDS experts and Haitian immigrants in South Florida. Although there is worldwide emphasis on the universality of HIV/AIDS as a social, political, economic, and biomedical problem, developments in prevention are rooted in and focused exclusively on disparities in its mobidity and mortality framed through the rubric of race, ethnicity, and nationality. Everyone is at equal risk for contracting HIV/AIDS, Sangaramoorthy notes, but the ways in which people experience and manage that risk - and the disease itself - is highly dependent on race, ethnic identity, sexuality, gender, immigration status, and other notions of "difference."--Back cover.
