In a companion to the 2002 Catholic Ethicists on HIV/AIDS Prevention, 24 women theologians from Asia, Australia, North America, Africa, and Europe address social and moral aspects of the disease, its impact, and efforts to prevent and treat it. Among their topics are calling for dignity, justice, and care in Vietnam; information, sex education, and church intervention in public policy in the Philippines; discourses of AIDS in Britain; the vulnerability of people with disabilities and the elderly; and communities visible and invisible in Oceania.
