- catalog abstract ""AIDS is a disease that infects human beings, not statistics. Women at the Crossroads goes beyond empirical analysis of risk behavior data to tell the stories of the women behind questionnaires, and give voice to those hidden by code names. These are women who, out of need, have turned to prostitution to feed their families and, in turn, run the risk of contracting the deadliest of diseases." "Based on Dr. Renaud's extensive research in Kaolack, Senegal, this book not only examines the anthropological aspects of these women's lives, but imbues its subjects with real personalities, making it both a poignant and practical text for anyone doing research on AIDS and the disease's effect on Africa and the third world."--Jacket.".
