Summary	"Women's Experiences with HIV/AIDS: Mending Fractured Selves examines the impact of HIV/AIDS on women, the fastest-growing subgroup of the HIV-infected population of the United States. Based on interviews with HIV-infected women, the book gives voice to their experiences. These courageous women speak candidly about the impact of illness on their lives in interviews that highlight key issues pertinent to living with the infection, including the everyday impact of an HIV diagnosis and the effect of the disease on women's social and familial roles."--BOOK JACKET.
