This volume explores some of the difficult questions relating to AIDS and HIV infection in North America. It is divided into two parts; the first deals with the culture and context of AIDS and HIV infection, and the second examines specific ethical and social issues. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects, including contemporary moral values and AIDS, religious views of AIDS, women and HIV infection, AIDS and disability, sexual ethics, health care workers' rights and responsibilities, HIV testing and confidentiality, access to nonvalidated drugs, AIDS education, and health care policy development.
