Edited by Peter Aggleton, Peter Davies and Graham Hart
The strength of this book lies in its immediacy to a rapidly
evolving HIV/AIDS field. Each year, the Editors produce a highly

valuable reference resource for the busy reader, it is perfiaps in
the juxtaposing of different issues, and the different styles and
approaches that have developed from them, that it proves its real
worth.
The Social Aspects of AIDS series is founded on the firm belief
that a collaboration between medicine and the social sciences is
required to hasten the development of effective means to prevent
and treat HIV infection. As AIDS enters its second decade,
individuals from each field are under increasing pressure to learn
about each other's work. This book is an excellent place to start.
