SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Learning from HIV/AIDS brings together perspectives from different disciplines to assess what we have learnt about HIV/AIDS, and what methodological and theoretical advances have arisen from studying it. It presents a holistic overview of the disease and identifies why unidisciplinary interventions for HIV prevention have failed.
