Title: Crisis: Heterosexual Behavior in the Age of AIDS
Author: William H. Masters;Virginia Johnson;Robert Kolodny
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Grove Press 1988
Edition: First Edition
ISBN 10: 0802110495
Size: 6 X 8.5 X 1 * 243 pages
Synopsis: From the jacket: In this vitally important book, the world's foremost sex researchers reveal the results of the first nationwide study documenting the spread of the AIDS virus among heterosexual American adults. In the public mind, the AIDS virus is still confined to the original high-risk groups: homosexual and bisexual men and IV drug users. The authors' study, in which a large sampling of monogamous and nonmonogamous heterosexuals was screened, interviewed, and given blood tests, flatly disproves this misconception.
In addition, Crisis dispels many other mistaken beliefs and misleading reassurances that currently cloud the issue of AIDS and its transmission. For example:
â– Contrary to the official estimate of 1,500,000, more than 3,000,000 Americans are infected with the AIDS virus today.
â– The risk of contracting AIDS through a blood transfusion is almost 50 times greater than claimed by government experts and representatives of the blood banking industry.
â– Condoms do not guarantee safe sex; in an FDA study, one out of every five lots of condoms tested "flunked."
â– In several recent studies, groups as diverse as hospital patients, prostitutes, and pregnant women showed unexpectedly high rates of infection with the AIDS virus.
â– Despite public anxiety about the AIDS epidemic, there are strong indications that promiscuous sexual behavior continues unchecked.
In short, we are all at risk, and we must act now, individually and as a society, if our own lives and our nation's future are not to be devastated by this new plague.
What can we do? Crisis provides the balanced, scientifically precise, practical information we all need to cope with the threat of AIDS. It addresses the critical questions we now face without pulling any punches. What does "safe sex" really mean in the age of AIDS? Which sexual practices are riskiest, which are safest, and why? Is there any risk of infection in casual everyday situations? Is it safe to eat in a restaurant where the cook has AIDS or is an asymptomatic carrier? How reliable are the blood tests that screen for antibodies to the AIDS virus- and who should be tested?
According to the authors' estimates, by the end of 1991 there will be a cumulative total of more than 500,000 cases of AIDS in America, and at least 2,000,000 cases worldwide. Crisis exposes the terrible urgency of the problem and offers a comprehensive public health strategy designed to avert this disaster.
The AIDS virus attacks people without regard to their morals, sexual orientation, age, race, or creed. It is a ruthless killer with many accomplices-fear, bigotry, complacency, ignorance. Crisis asks us not to conspire with a disease that poses the greatest health emergency our nation has ever faced. It is the one book about AIDS that every concerned citizen must read. Its findings are on the cutting edge of science. Its conclusions are meticulously reasoned and exhaustively documented. Its recommendations are thoughtful, authoritative, and clear. And its message, quite literally, will save lives.
