ISBN: 9780415917858

Weaving together theoretical, critical, and practical perspectives, Gendered Epidemic questions the "add women and stir" model that governs most HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts. This collection describes conflicts and contradictions, and poses new theories and practices. Written by HIV-positive women, theorists, teachers, artists, policy makers and activists, it offers insights necessary to stem the spread of HIV.
