Setting the stage -- Voices of the past -- Enter HIV -- Abuse, trauma, and HIV -- Distrust, conspiracy and confidentiality and provider relationships -- Benefit systems -- The importance of children -- Sex, love, family and other support -- Theoretical framework -- The future.
The Deep South has seen a 36 percent increase in AIDS cases while the rest of the nation has seen a 2 percent decline. Many of the underlying reasons for the disease's continued spread in the region - ignorance about HIV, reluctance to get tested, non-adherence to treatment protocols, resistance to behavioral changes - remain unaddressed by policymakers. In this book, the authors present a discussion of twenty-five ethnographic life stories of people living with HIV in the South. Most importantly, they incorporate research from their quantitative study, "Coping with HIV/AIDS in the Southeast" (CHASE), which includes 611 HIV-positive patients from North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana
