Lethal Violations: Human Rights Abuses Faced by Injection Drug Users in the Era of HIV/AIDS
Summary
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has attained proportions far beyond the scale that was ever imagined when the virus that drives it was discovered. By some estimates, hundreds of millions of persons may die before the disease is brought under control.
