The authors recount the groundbreaking use of social network methods, ethnographic direct-observation techniques, and in-depth interviews in their study of a drug-using community in Brooklyn, New York. They provide a detailed documentary of the lives of community members. They describe drug-use, the affects of poverty and homelessness, the acquisition of money and drugs, and social relationships within the group. Social Networks, Drug Injectors' Lives, and HIV/AIDS shows that social networks and contexts are of crucial importance in understanding and fighting the AIDS epidemic. These findings should revitalize prevention efforts and reshape social policy. 410 0$aAIDS prevention and mental health. 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xTransmission 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xRisk factors 606 $aIntravenous drug abuse$xHealth aspects 606 $aNeedle sharing$xHealth aspects 606 $aHealth behavior 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xTransmission. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xRisk factors. 615 0$aIntravenous drug abuse$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aNeedle sharing$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aHealth behavior. 676 $a362.1/969792 701 $aFriedman$b Samuel R.$f1942-$0848019 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454994603321 996 $aSocial networks, drug injectors' lives, and HIV$91893859 997 $aUNINA
