| Annotation | In 2008, there were more than a million people with HIV/AIDS in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) 2007 estimates that 15% of people with HIV/AIDS are aged over 50. At greater risk are women of colour. Most intervention efforts have focused on intrapersonal aspects of an individual and his or her sexual-risk behaviours, with little or no attention directed towards interpersonal and socio-environmental considerations of risk and prevention. This paper considers the limitations of current US national policies relating to HIV prevention in minority populations, especially among midlife and older women of colour. In particular, it examines the risk and prevention policies in light of ecological perspectives, social capital and dialogical theories. (RH). |
