Restoring Hope Decent Care in the Midst of HIV/AIDS [Hardcover]

This volume is a call to re-examine assumptions about what care is and how it be practised. Rather than another demand for radical reform,?it makes the case for thinking clearly and critically. It urges people living with HIV to become full partners in designing and implementing their own care and for caregivers to accept them in this role.Preface; S.Matic Foreword; T.Karpf , T.Ferguson , R.Swift ?and J.Lazarus Introduction  Decent Care: A Proposal for the Future of HIV Care and Support; T.Ferguson Restoring Hope; T.Karpf The Demand for Equity; K.Moody Decency in a Globalizing World: Care of People Living with HIV; E.Mendieta HIV and AIDS, Decent Care and the Traditions of the Catholic Social Teaching; P.Hughes The Biblical Mandate to Care and Cure; D.Rosen An Islamic View of Health and Sickness: How our Core Values Promote Decent Care; S.Elzenari Decent Care for People Living with HIV: What are we Waiting For?; A-C.d'Adesky ?and K.Anastos Care in a Season of AIDS: An Islamic Perspective; F.Esack Towards a State of Good Health: A Dharmic View of HIV; S.Agnivesh A Buddhist Perspective on Decent Care; N.Panichpant-Michelsen Decent Care for Life; G.R.Gunderson ?and T.F.Cutts Decent Care and HIV: A Holistic Approach; E.Mombo Ubi Caritas?

'HIV/AIDS is devastating the world, especially the vulnerable and the poor, who bear the brunt of humiliation, discrimination and stigma. Restoring Hope is a heartfelt plea from different faiths, and philosophical and ethical perspectives for decent care, which treats people living with HIV as collaborators. It is a plea, I pray we heed.'
