Download The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Latin America Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Overview: -- As of the end of 2008, an estimated 2.0 million people were living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America. In 2008, more than 70% of people living with HIV/AIDS resided in the four largest countries in the region - Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. Brazil alone is home to more than 40% of the region's HIV/AIDS population (730,000 people). -- The HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the region (0.6% in 2008) is lower than the global prevalence rate (0.8%) and that of the neighboring Caribbean region (1.0%), and has been relatively stable in recent years. Prevalence rates, however, vary widely across the region, ranging from a low of 0.2% in Bolivia and Nicaragua to a high of 2.5% Guyana. -- There were 170,000 new infections and 77,000 deaths due to AIDS in Latin America in 2008. -- HIV in Latin America is spread primarily through sex, with men who have sex with men (MSM) driving transmission in certain parts of the region and heterosexual sex driving transmission in others. Sex work and, to a lesser extent, injecting drug use play important roles in the region's epidemic.

Download Representations of HIV/AIDS in Contemporary Hispano-American and Caribbean Culture Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Exploring the mechanisms and strategies used in different cultures across Hispano-America and the Caribbean to narrativise, represent and understand HIV/AIDS as a social and human phenomenon, this book examines a wide range of cultural, artistic and media texts, as well as issues of human phenomenology, to understand the ways in which HIV positive individuals make sense of their own lives, and of the ways in which the rest of society sees them. Drawing on a variety of cultural texts from cinema, television, photography and literature, the author considers the manner in which contemporary cultural forms have shaped a body of public opinion in response to the social and cultural impact of HIV/AIDS, re-interpreting the condition in the light of advances in treatment. With attention to both the temporality and spatiality of production, this book examines whether heterosexual and homosexual, and masculine and feminine bodies are narrativised in the same manner, considering the question of whether representations foster discrimination of any kind. The book also asks whether representations across Latin America are homogenous or varied according to national, social or cultural context, and explores the commonalities between the representations of HIV/AIDS in Hispano-America and the Caribbean and other global narratives. A detailed study of the various representations of HIV/AIDS and the construction of public opinion, this book will appeal to scholars of cultural, media and film studies, the sociology of health, the body and illness, and Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
