About the Author:
In December 2008, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that approximately 1.1 million persons are living with HIV in the United States. This number is expected to continue to increase as antiretroviral treatments prolong lives and more people become infected than die from the disease each year. As the number of people living with HIV grows, so does the opportunity for HIV transmission.
Kathy S. Stolley is an assistant professor of sociology at Virginia Wesleyan College, Norfolk, VA. She is the author of Greenwood Press book The Basics of Sociology (2005) and of The Praeger Handbook of Adoption (2006).

The history, symptoms, prevention, and current issues surrounding HIV and AIDS are discussed, along with a focus on special populations struggling with the disease.Once thought to be a disease of homosexuals and drug abusers, AIDS has now impacted people across cultures, genders, and sexual orientations.
