 There is an inherently robust and complicated paradox underlying HIV/AIDS prevention—between the point of interest on collective advocacy mobilized to strive against international HIV/AIDS and the staggeringly disproportionate charges of HIV/AIDS in lots of areas. In Treating AIDS, Thurka Sangaramoorthy examines the typical practices of HIV/AIDS prevention within the usa from the viewpoint of AIDS specialists and Haitian immigrants in South Florida. even if there's world wide emphasis at the universality of HIV/AIDS as a social, political, monetary, and biomedical challenge, advancements in HIV/AIDS prevention are rooted in and centred completely on disparities in HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality framed throughout the rubric of race, ethnicity, and nationality. everyone seems to be at equivalent danger for contracting HIV/AIDS, Sangaramoorthy notes, however the ways that humans adventure and deal with that risk—and the affliction itself—is hugely depending on race, ethnic id, sexuality, gender, immigration prestige, and different notions of “difference.”

Sangaramoorthy records intimately the paintings of AIDS prevention courses and their impression at the health and wellbeing and health and wellbeing of Haitians, a transnational neighborhood lengthy laid low with the stigma of being stereotyped in public discourse as sickness vendors. via tracing the ways that public wisdom of AIDS prevention technology circulates from websites of surveillance and law, to varied clinics and hospitals, to the social worlds embraced via this immigrant group, she finally demonstrates the ways that AIDS prevention courses aid to enhance different types of person and collective distinction, and the way they proceed to maintain the continual and pernicious concept of race and ethnicity as threat elements for the disease.
