The first group of papers cover prevention with papers looking at condom use in heterosexual sex, initiating and maintaining safer sex, peer education, HIV/AIDS education in the workplace, and ten years of AIDS images in the Puerto Rican Press. The next group of papers targets drugs with papers discussing drug injecting and the spread of HIV, network and sociohistorical approaches to the HIV epidemic among drug injectors, and amphetamine injecting women and their primary partners. The papers on gender issues include the impact of HIV on women in developing countries, caregiving, children born to mothers with HIV/AIDS, young women and HIV, and HIV testing. The last group of papers is concerned with care and treatment: bridging the gap between science and AIDS service provision, nurse counselling, family system approach for community health nursing, HIV infection in the brain, ethical dilemmas for psychiatrists, and HIV infection in psychiatric inpatients.
These are well presented papers that should provide a basis for further study. Although these are pre-1997 papers, they are still important for researchers to read and study. Recommended for all medical and academic libraries.
