| Summary |
"This book focuses on safer sex discussion and practice in close, personal relationships, emphasizing research on individuals in personal relationship types that are experiencing a rise in HIV infection and AIDS. Moving beyond studies of gay adult males and IV drug-users, this work paints a clear picture of the very real risk that exists for these less-studied, more general populations, so individuals may better personalize the risk and engage in more preventative measures. Authors Tara Emmers-Sommer and Mike Allen examine issues surrounding safer sex, utilizing research that focuses on how individuals struggle with peronalizing the HIV and AIDS risk and how they cope with safer sex issues." "This book will appeal to scholars and students concerned with HIV and AIDS in personal relationships. It will be an invaluable text for courses in interpersonal communication and relationships: family studies, human sexuality, gay and lesbian relationships, and sexual education."--BOOK JACKET |
