| Popis: | The HIV/AIDS pandemic has revealed the extent to which a deeply ingrained homophobia permeates the health and caring professions. Midwifery is no exception, and prejudice may compromise the service which lesbian clients receive. Yet AIDS has also stimulated efforts to combat homophobia, and lesbian and gay community networks may offer additional support in developing truly egalitarian midwifery practice. |
