About the book

"The psychological, medical and social ramifications of AIDS for women are examined as the chapters explore a variety of issues such as quality of life for women, children, orphans, drug use, and the ability of women to access services. These issues are addressed in a variety of situations such as sex work, prisons, family and the developing world. Authors are drawn from Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australia to provide a global focus for a book which will be crucial reading for all those interested in the evolving AIDS epidemic and any work or researcher involved with women and HIV/AIDS."--Jacket.

First sentence: Women living with HIV face complex choices concerning their own sexuality, in particular with respect to decisions to be sexually active, to practise safer sex, to communicate their status to partners, and to make plans to have children or avoid pregnancy.
