3.0 out of 5 starsAIDS in the Yucatan
By Jeffery Mingo on September 4, 2005
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
An American gay man dabbling in anthropology goes to the Yucatan to study how people there are living with HIV/AIDS and how doctors are trying to fight the disease. There have been several books written on U.S. Latinos and their struggles against the epidemic, but this is the first I've found that dealt with Native peoples living in Latin America. I hope that more authors produce books like this exploring different regions in the world.

People and cultures are so similar, yet so different. In this study, epidemiologists fall into addressing AIDS. The same happened with Dr. Abraham Verghese in Tennessee, as covered by his monograph "My Own Country." In this book, an HIV-positive nurse tried to say he got the virus from a prick in the hospital. Another hospital worker states, "If that were true, you'd be the first case of that in Mexico, and people may trust nurses less because of it." The aforementioned nurse broke down and cried. In Randy Shilts' "Conduct Unbecoming," he stated that many HIV-infected American soldiers stationed in Germany would say they got it from a (female) prostitute, but experts noted that German prostitutes don't have a high incidence of the virus. Thus, this book and others show, worldwide, how patients try to find any excuse they can to avoid admitting their male sexual contact as cause of their diagnosis.

On the other hand, this region is so different from the U.S. context. The author states that young males kick it with each other, because the culture would not allow young females to be sexually active. Married and other heterosexually-active men have sex with cross-dressing male prostitutes with ease. Thus, any man can catch the virus while it has been contained, more or less, with certain groups of men in the 50 states.Read more ›
