Description
HIV/AIDS and the Drug Culture is a carefully assembled series of case studies in which readers come in direct contact with troubles health care professionals face when dealing with HIV/AIDS infected intravenous drug users (IDUs). Chapter after chapter presents medical and psychological histories, summaries of events, telltale clues to recognize, and safe strategies to employ so that each potentially problematic situation can be dealt with professionally and soundly. Hagan and Gormley present the current population of IDUs as a group needing effective short- and long-term health care plans as well as general understanding and acceptance.
