Analyzing the medical clinic after neoliberalism.

The American public responded to the first cases of AIDS with fear and panic. This work offers an examination of how the nation attempted, with mixed results, to negotiate the fears and concerns brought on by the epidemic. It traces a slow separation between official advice and that provided by those on the front lines in the battle against AIDS.

Combining detailed analysis with practical suggestions, this book provides insights into the current debates about women and AIDS and suggests future directions for work to overcome faulty planning, discrimination and misrepresentation.
