War in the Blood: Sex, Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia

From Thailand's open debate about and readiness to deal with its HIV problem to the relationship between the Burmese regime and the drug trade, this engaging and vivid book investigates the way the HIV epidemic has taken its course in seven countries of Southeast Asia. The author shows how the cultural and political landscapes of these countries have affected the often devastating progress of the disease. The way the epidemic has spread is vitally linked to the condition of human rights in those societies and mediated by sexual behavior, drug use, and the state of health care. Both passionate and well-informed, this book discusses the problems of the HIV epidemic while giving a personal account of the author's own experience in Southeast Asia and asserting the possibility for positive action.
