AIDS is not simply a concern for scientists, doctors, and medical researchers, it has important social implications as well. These include individual, cultural and media responses to the epidemic, stigmatization and discrimination, counselling, care and health promotion.

The titles will be of interest to the general reader, those involved in education and social research, and scientific researchers who want to examine the social aspects of AIDS.
