Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepping outside the established boundaries of HIV scholarship, Modernizing Sexuality illustrates the ways in which Western idealizations of normative sexuality and the power of modernity come together in U.S. prevention policy, and how they actually exacerbate HIV risk, particularly for women. Building on everyday understandings of HIV, this book provides a new narrative that reimagines risk and offers an alternative path for organizing important policy efforts.
