This volume offers country-specific accounts, authored by the leading players in the analysis of the situation and the fight against the virus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Russia and in several other parts of the former Soviet Union remains a great concern. This book is, therefore, an extremely timely and important contribution to the literature on HIV/AIDS in general and on HIV/AIDS in Russia and the former Soviet Union, in particular. The two volumes that Twigg has assembled bring together the writings of a group of outstanding scholars and practitioners who are unrivaled in their knowledge of HIV/AIDS in the countries about which they have written. The book clearly lays out not only the epidemiology in different countries but also insightfully portrays the political, social, and economic forces that are linked to the spread of HIV in these countries. The chapters on Russia provide analyses of the epidemic in that country that have rarely been discussed with such thoughtfulness. Everyone concerned about the threat of HIV/AIDS in the former Soviet Union, the links between HIV/AIDS and human rights, and the multi-dimensional foundations of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, will want to read this book." - Richard Skolnik, Former Executive Director, Harvard School of Public Health PEPFAR Program</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JUDYTH L.
