Description
This panel explores way that government actors and academics in both public health and law can maximize the utility of AIDS/HIV interventions, and also equalize the costs born in dignity and privacy by members of various groups who make up the populations either positive or at high risk. Panelists explore identity categories like men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM), and how public health policymakers and implementers should tailor their measures to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, as well as the too-often undiscussed risks of African-American women for HIV infection. As a whole, this panel illustrates how difficult – if not impossible – it is to understand, regulate, and treat HIV/AIDS without a sophisticated appreciation of the ways that the virus’ path is shaped at the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality.
