Provides a unique and readable combination of up-to-date medical information, a discussion of social issues, personal accounts and practical advice about ways of working with women affected by HIV and AIDS.

Women now account for one third of the ten million people with HIV infection worldwide. Yet until very recently most services were geared towards men, and doctors and other professionals were often unprepared for the particular issues that women would raise. Working with Women and AIDS provides a unique and readable combination of up-to-date medical information, a discussion of social issues, personal accounts and practical advice about ways of working with women affected by HIV and AIDS. Written by people working in the field, the book explores issues such as contraception, pregnancy and prostitution, which are of central concern to those involved in the care of the increasing number of women affected by HIV infection and AIDS.

Judy Bury is the Primary Care Facilitator (HIV/AIDS) for the Lothian Health Board; Val Morrison is a Research Psychologist in Health Psychology at the University of St Andrews; and Sheena McLachlan is a Project Worker with the Women and HIV/ AIDS Network in Lothian.
