About this work

Description

Using the history of HIV in North Carolina as a case study, Inrig examines the rise of AIDS in the South in the period from the early spread and discovery of the disease through the late nineties. Drawing on epidemiological, archival, and oral history sources, Inrig provides powerful insight into the forces and factors that have made AIDS such an intractable health problem in the American South and the greater United States.
