Abstract
Précis. This volume of 16 essays originated in a conference held in conjunction with the 1988 World AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) Day. The book explores the impact of AIDS on “hospital administrators, health care professionals, and persons with AIDS.” It is written with health policy in mind. Editor Gostin warns in his introduction that “[f]ailure to implement strong policies will cost the country its most vital resource—the health and well-being of a predominantly young and vigorous population” (p. 12). The author of each essay makes policy recommendations that, when taken together, amount to a set of policy goals and objectives covering the important facets of AIDS as a chronic illness.
