In Treating AIDS, Thurka Sangaramoorthy examines the everyday practices of HIV/AIDS prevention in the United States from the perspective of AIDS experts and Haitian immigrants in South Florida. Although there is worldwide emphasis on the universality of HIV/AIDS as a social, political, economic, and biomedical problem, developments in HIV/AIDS prevention are rooted in and focused exclusively on disparities in HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality framed through the rubric of race, ethnicity, and nationality. Everyone is at equal risk for contracting HIV/AIDS, Sangaramoorthy notes, but the ways in which people experience and manage that risk-and the disease itself-is highly dependent on race, ethnic identity, sexuality, gender, immigration status, and other notions of "difference." Sangaramoorthy documents in detail the work of AIDS prevention programs and their effect on the health and well-being of Haitians, a transnational community long plagued by the stigma of being stereotyped in public discourse as disease carriers. By tracing the ways in which public knowledge of AIDS prevention science circulates from sites of surveillance and regulation, to various clinics and hospitals, to the social worlds embraced by this immigrant community, she ultimately demonstrates the ways in which AIDS prevention programs help to reinforce categories of individual and collective difference, and how they continue to sustain the persistent and pernicious idea of race and ethnicity as risk factors for the disease. 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zUnited States 606 $aSocial status$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aHaitians$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 615 0$aSocial status$xHealth aspects 615 0$aHaitians$xSocial conditions. 676 $a362.19697/92 700 $aSangaramoorthy$b Thurka$f1975-$01030176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453584703321 996 $aTreating AIDS$92446979 997 $aUNINA
