Beschreibungen

This book focuses on the clinical, social and psychological aspects of HIV among gay men and examines the complex factors that can contribute to HIV risk in this key population. With the target to end all HIV transmissions in the UK by 2030 in mind, Jaspal and Bayley combine elements of HIV medicine and social psychology to identify the remaining barriers to effective HIV prevention among gay men. The authors take the reader on a journey through the history of HIV, its science and epidemiology and its future, demonstrating the vital role of history, society and psychology in understanding the trajectory of the virus. Underpinned by theories from social psychology and clinical snapshots from practice, this book considers how psychological constructs, such as identity, risk and sexuality, can impinge on physical health outcomes. This refreshing and thought-provoking text is an invaluable resource for scholars, clinicians and students working in the field of HIV.

<div>‘There have been books on HIV histories and clinical virology; on pathophysiology of HIV disease; on gay men, too, but here, in one volume, key aspects of HIV and gay men: clinical, social and psychological perspectives are brought together, under one cover. Jaspal and Bayley have produced a truly contemporary text.&nbsp; This is a “must” for contemporary practitioners; those of us old enough to remember the early days, to see how they have improved, and those young enough to know little about it. I will certainly commend this text to my students.’</div>—<b>Professor David Evans</b>, OBE, NTF.

University of Greenwich)</div><div><p>“This book is essential reading for clinical practitioners trying to gain insights into what makes people think, feel and behave in certain ways—a precondition for the success of any medical innovation and intervention—for people living with HIV/AIDS trying to live as normal a life as possible, and, of course, for anybody interested in the social psychological study of health and illness.” (Professor Brigitte Nerlich, University of Nottingham)</p></div><div><div>“Could HIV be eliminated by 2030? This cannot be done by medication alone, as this book shows clearly. Beliefs, behaviours and feelings need to change, and this book shows why, and how such changes might be made. This important collaboration between medicine and social psychology is needed to save lives from this mystifying and terrifying infection.” (Professor Kate Loewenthal, Emeritus Professor of Clinical Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London)</div></div><div><br></div><div>“The field of HIV and AIDS has seen enormous changes in the past few years, in virology and pharmacology, in treatment and prevention options and in terms of the meaning of the issues in the lives of the people most closely involved. This volume deserves to become a classic in the field, offering a contemporary glimpse into the lives of those who have been touched by HIV. Moreover it offersa thoroughgoing overview of clinical and psychosocial aspects of HIV medicine, so has something to offer the student, the academic, the clinician and the curious layperson.” (Professor Brian Brown, De Montfort University, Leicester, UK)</div><div><br></div><div>“The goal of ending HIV transmission in the UK by 2030 is a challenging one, but well within our reach. HIV and Gay Men sets out the clinical, social and psychological context and addresses the challenges in achieving this in a way that should inform researchers, policy makers, clinicians and activists alike.” (Dr Michael Brady, National Advisor for LGBT Health, NHS England; Consultant Physician in Sexual Health and HIV, Kings College Hospital, London; Medical Director, Terrence Higgins Trust)<br></div><div><br></div><div>“This book—a collaboration by two leading experts on the impact of&nbsp; HIV amongst gay men—is an important contribution to understanding the history, evolution and current position of the HIV epidemic amongst gay men in the UK.</div>It takes you on a journey—from the early days of the epidemic in the UK and the death of Terry Higgins to a robust and thoughtful insight into HIV prevention, diagnosis, management and prognosis.&nbsp; The journey continues by highlighting the significant mental health impact of HIV amongst gay men and how important it is to ensure that services are accessible to meet these needs.<div>The journey ends but raising the tantalising prospect of the elimination of new HIV transmission in the UK by 2030, highlighting some key actions that need to be taken to achieve this ambitious goal.</div>As a gay man living with HIV I want to thank Rusi and Jake for the care that they have taken in writing this important book—it’s a must read.” (Ian Green, Chief Executive, Terrence Higgins Trust)<div><br></div><div>“This book is invaluable for everyone working with gay men either with an HIV diagnosis or who might be at risk of one. Its multidisciplinary focus and considerationof the history and context of HIV is its strength, and several important perspectives are incorporated emphatically into one volume. Reading this book will enable the practitioner to understand HIV in depth from a variety of necessary contexts and—crucially—it highlights essential issues to consider in clinical practice.” (Dr Claire Bloxsom, UKCP Registered Integrative Psychotherapist. Senior Lecturer in Psychology, Counselling, and Psychological Therapies, Nottingham Trent University)</div><div><br></div><div>“This book can serve scholars and professionals being introduced to both clinical and social psychological dimensions of HIV, its history and its future. This reference book is very original and unique in its kind: it reviews the evidence and proposes recommendations. The clinical cases presented throughout this volume are provided for the benefit of people working with HIV in gay men.” (Ismaël Maatouk, Clemenceau Medical Center affiliated with Johns Hopkins International, Beirut, Lebanon)</div>
