AIDS in Post-Communist Russia and its Successor States is the first book to examine how effective the former Soviet Union has been in coping with AIDS and HIV-infection in the last decade. Drawing upon Russian language material, this book analyses a range of critical issues, such as the extent of HIV and AIDS mortality and morbidity by nation state, the role of the health sector, AIDS and health/sex education, the impact of the mass media, different government responses, the role of non-governmental agencies, the law and human rights and the need to eradicate discrimination against so-called ?risk-groups?.
