Résumé : |
During the 1990s, women face considerable risks of HIV infection. This book is about the ways in which we can and must respond to the needs now emerging.
The risks to women arise from: the greater ease of transmission from men to women in unprotected penetrative sex; the greater rate of HIV infection in women's sexual partners due to unsafe drug injection; and the fact that women drug injectors are more likely to use unsterilised injection equipment after their partner has used it than vice versa. How are the various health, welfare and criminal justice services shaping up to the needs in relation to women, drugs and HIV? What role can self-help and community-based responses play? How are the drug specialist agencies responding? What are the issues for professionals, volunteers, families, friends and other carers? Women, Drugs, HIV: practical issues is written for those who are concerned to respond constructively to this newly acknowledged face of HIV. It will be of interest to everyone concerned about the development of services for women - members of the public, practitioners and students in the helping professions generally, and specialists in the HIV and drugs fields. The contributors write in an easy style about their own experience in providing services. |
