Social Aspects of AIDS
Series Editor: Peter Aggleton
(Institute of Education, University of London)
AIDS is not simply a concern for scientists, doctors and medical researchers, it has
important social dimensions as well. These include individual, cultural and media responses
to the epidemic, stigmatization and discrimination, counselling, care and health promotion.
This series of books brings together work from many disciplines including psychology,
sociology, cultural and media studies, anthropology, education and history. The titles will be
of interest to the general reader, those involved in education and social research, and scientific
researchers who want to examine the social aspects of AIDS.
