Since discovery, HIV\/AIDS has exposed a number of social, psychological, and biological aspects of disease transmission. The concept of “syndemics,” or “synergistically interacting epidemics” has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding both the epidemiological patterns and the myriad of problems associated with HIV\/AIDS around the world and within the United States. The book considers the disparities in HIV\/AIDS in relation to social aspects, risk behavior and critical illness comorbidities. It updates and enhances our understanding of the HIV\/AIDS epidemic in the United States and contributes to the expanding literature on the role of syndemics in shaping the public’s health.​\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319340029\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-34004-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49939713360012,"sku":"9783319340029","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319340029.jpg?v=1779052195","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319340029","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
