Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has adversely affected Latino/Hispanic communities, and its impact on Hispanics/Latinos continues to grow at disproportionate rates. As the youngest and fastest growing minority group in the U.S., the Hispanic/Latino population is witnessing the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Several factors act as obstacles to prevention efforts and thus contribute to the high level of HIV infection. Latinos living in the U.S. experience cultural factors and familial norms that act as barriers to HIV prevention. They are exposed to cultural stressors -- discrimination, language barriers, and acculturation -- that make them more vulnerable to maladaptive behaviors, which increase their likelihood of becoming infected with HIV.

Download or read book Compa eros written by Jesus Ramirez-Valles and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telling the affecting stories of eighty gay, bisexual, and transgender (GBT) Latino activists and volunteers living in Chicago and San Francisco, Compañeros: Latino Activists in the Face of AIDS closely details how these individuals have been touched or transformed by the AIDS epidemic. Weaving together activists' responses to oppression and stigma, their encounters with AIDS, and their experiences as GBTs and Latinos in North America and Latin America, Jesus Ramirez-Valles explores the intersection of civic involvement with ethnic and sexual identity. Even as activists battle multiple sources of oppression, they are able to restore their sense of family connection and self-esteem through the creation of an alternative space in which community members find value in their relationships with one another. In demonstrating the transformative effects of a nurturing community environment for GBT Latinos affected by the AIDS epidemic, Ramirez-Valles illustrates that members find support in one another, as compañeros, in their struggles with homophobia, gender discrimination, racism, poverty, and forced migration.

Its findings are based on a nationally representative telephone survey of 2,683 adults 18 and older conducted in both English and Spanish and examines Latinos' view of HIV/AIDS, including differences between Latino subgroups. Where data are available, analyses of changing attitudes over time are also provided. The survey indicates that Latinos are concerned about the epidemic and that attitudes toward HIV/AIDS vary significantly by race and ethnicity, with Latinos expressing more concern and urgency about the epidemic than the public overall. In addition, views within the Lation population vary significantly by income, education, language, and age."
