Major changes in the nature and dynamics of the AIDS epidemic

over the last few years are reflected in changing epidemiological trends as well as in the progress made in biomedical research and treatment. AIDS in Europe brings together papers from leading social science researchers to look at the opportunities and challenges these changes bring and the different ways in which they are being responded to in both western and eastern Europe. Papers are organised under three headings:

new challenges for HIV prevention

care of people living with HIV/AIDS in a new therapeutic context

AIDS public policies: from specialisation to normalisation

AIDS in Europe provides a comprehensive overview of current social and behavioural research on HIV and AIDS for all health professionals.
