Description:	The purpose of this book is to illuminate the life experiences of people living with HIV. Challenges embedded in social policy such as access, cost, and availability of quality medical care and immigration policies which can restrict the freedom of people to travel, work, and live in different nations and regions are a focus of this book. Stigma and discrimination and existential struggles of identity, meaning, and reality are another major focus of this work. While these challenges are made visible in the examination of the biographical experiences of people living with HIV, they can also be considered as important issues for human rights more generally. In the context of a global recession and increasing social, cultural, and economic international interdependence, comparative transnational studies are of an ever growing importance to our understanding of what policies and conditions are supportive of health and promoting the development of human potential.
