{"product_id":"aids-in-nepal-jill-hannum-9781888363609","title":"AIDS in Nepal: Communities Confronting an Emerging Epidemic","description":"In 1993, the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) began a three-year, community-based AIDS prevention program in 17 sites scattered throughout the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, with the objective of enabling people to protect themselves and their sexual partners against HIV\/AIDS through information, education, and access to means of prevention. The program also aimed to reduce people's individual and collective vulnerability to HIV\/AIDS through the teaching of literacy and other sklls needed for alternate income generation. \u003cbr\u003eIn AIDS in Nepal: Communities Confronting An Emerging Epidemic, Jill Hannum presents the voices of people who are at the forefront of the response to HIV\/AIDS in Nepal. She reveals the many discoveries that the community-based organizations made through their interaction with young people and adults across the country, as they opened a dialogue on sexuality and disseminated information on safer sexual behavior in culturally appropriate ways. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a powerful resource for individuals and organizations concerned with community-based health and social development programs, both within and outside Nepal. It carries a message of hope as communities and those who support them demonstrate how they can respond effectively to an emerging epidemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Hannum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1888363606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781888363609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.66d","brand":"Jill Hannum","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450037874943,"sku":"9781888363609","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c27e8e6b-0b17-4e54-a985-c4e2a2393286.jpg?v=1777265955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aids-in-nepal-jill-hannum-9781888363609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
