HIV/AIDS policies have significantly disproportionate, serious, and sometimes fatal consequences for women globally. Drawing on case studies from the United States, China, Poland, Uganda, Namibia, South Africa, India, New Zealand, and Jamaica, this edited volume examines policies that contribute to successful prevention care and treatment of people with HIV and AIDS, as well as the policies that are barriers to the improvement of the HIV/AIDS situation and its containment. It also identifies strategies for addressing and preventing the currently increasing severity and pervasiveness of the epidemic among women and their families worldwide.
