Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years after AIDS was first recognized, the American South constitutes the epicenter of the United States' epidemic. Southern states claim the highest rates of new infections, the most AIDS-related deaths, and the largest number of adults and adolescents living with the virus. Moreover, the epidemic disproportionately affects African American communities across the region. Using the history of HIV in North Carolina as a case study, Stephen Inrig examines the rise of AIDS in the South in the period from the early spread and discovery of the disease through the late nineties. Drawing on epidemiological, archival, and oral history sources, Inrig probes the social determinants of health that put poor, rural, and minority communities at greater risk of HIV infection in the American South. He also examines the difficulties that health workers and AIDS organizations faced in reaching those communities, especially in the early years of the epidemic. His analysis provides an important counterweight to most accounts of the early history of the disease, which focus on urban areas and the spread of AIDS in the gay community. As one of the first historical studies of AIDS in a southern state, North Carolina and the Problem of AIDS provides powerful insight into the forces and factors that have made AIDS such an intractable health problem in the American South and the greater United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 20th Century, many observers viewed HIV/AIDS as a chronic disease akin to cancer or diabetes. Despite its explosive growth and tragic history, HIV disease had become normalized in America. The disease had also disproportionately come to affect Blacks in the Southern United States. The literature and historiography surrounding AIDS, however, has largely continued to portray the epidemic as a northern, coastal, and urban problem.

Download or read book Knowledge and Attitudes about AIDS Among North Carolina Adults Classic Reprint written by William D. Kalsbeek and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Knowledge and Attitudes About Aids Among North Carolina Adults Broadcast and written media together were found to be the main source of information on aids for 90 percent of North Carolina adults. By contrast, we estimated that 74 percent of adults in the state would see the media as their primary source of general health information. This 16 percent difference can be explained by noting that 63 percent of adults saw television as their principal source of aids information, while only about 47 percent relied mainly on television for more general health - related knowledge. A number of other impressions can be drawn from Table 1. First, television was clearly the top choice for both types of information, followed next by newspapers and then closely thereafter by magazines and journals. Radio occupied a very distant fourth place. Second, doctors and nurses appeared to play a more important role in conveying general medical knowledge than knowledge about aids (19 percent versus 1 percent). Finally, local health departments were not considered to be a major source of either type of information in this population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing contemporary history from the perspective of the AIDS crisis, Jennifer Brier provides rich, new understandings of the United States' complex social and political trends in the post-1960s era. Brier describes how AIDS workers--in groups as disparate as the gay and lesbian press, AIDS service organizations, private philanthropies, and the State Department--influenced American politics, especially on issues such as gay and lesbian rights, reproductive health, racial justice, and health care policy, even in the face of the expansion of the New Right. Infectious Ideas places recent social, cultural, and political events in a new light, making an important contribution to our understanding of the United States at the end of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: By focusing on a small town in South Carolina, this study of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the South reveals the hard truths of an ongoing and complex issue. Skerritt contends that the United States has failed to adequately address the threat of HIV and AIDS in communities of color and that taboos about love, race, and sexualitycombined with Southern conservatism, white privilege, and black oppressioncontinue to create an unacceptable death toll. The heartbreak of Americas failure comes alive through case studies of individuals such as Carolyn, a wild child whose rebellion coincided with the advent of AIDS, and Nita, a young woman searching for love and trapped in an abusive relationship. The results are most visible at the towns segregated burial ground where dozens of young black men and women who have died from AIDS are laid to rest. Not only a call to action and awareness, this is a true story of how persons of faith, enduring love, and limitless forgiveness can inspire others by serving as guides for poor communities facing a public health threat burdened with conflicting moral and social conventions.
