| Description: |
'[This book] provides an extremely useful introduction into the background, theory, and practice of interventions for drug users and their sexual partners.' |I AIDS Education and Prevention |
| Synopsis: |
Presenting a holistic approach to a seemingly intractable problem, Preventing AIDS in Drug Users and Their Sexual Partners is necessary reading for mental health and medical professionals working on the problems of drug abuse and AIDS. The volume also serves as a text for graduate courses in psychology, public health, psychiatry, sociology, social work, and nursing. The number of intravenous drug users diagnosed with AIDS has risen steadily, from slightly over 18% of the 376 cases reported in 1981 to 28.4% of the 43,339 new cases reported in 1990. Further, drug use appears to be the primary link to the heterosexual population: Most women with AIDS have been injection drug users, and almost all babies born with AIDS have a parent with a history of such abuse. Addressing what needs to be done to stem the tide of this "second wave" of the AIDS epidemic, this volume presents research-validated information on how to prevent the spread of HIV infection among drug users and their sexual partners. |
