Seventeen international academics, researchers, health practitioners, and journalists contribute nine chapters critically assessing the relationship between gender, inequality and vulnerability to HIV infection and AIDS. Drawing on research conducted in the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa, the chapters examine current thinking about sexuality, masculinity, gender roles, and culture in relation to HIV/AIDS and the global politics of intervention and regulation. The text highlights the enormity and complexity of the relationship between gender inequalities, sexuality and HIV/AIDS, and the impact this has on the lives of affected and infected people, and on the work of development practitioners, academics, and activists. The editors hope that the text will contribute to a greater understanding of the character and persistence of the epidemic, and to improved policy and the transformation of gender relations in society as a whole.
