This book represents the compilation of efforts by researchers across the country, each of whom is dedicated not only to the prevention and elimination of HIV infection, but also to the conduct of research according to the highest ethical pr- ciples. The authors of the case studies have graciously agreed to share their ex- riences in conducting research, which raised questions for them and will motivate us to further inquiry and examination. The views that are presented in this text are diverse and readers may or may not agree with the analyses of the editor-authors or the authors of the case studies. We do not aim for agreement among readers, but rather, the studied analysis of the ethical issues raised in the conduct of HIV research. We clearly emphasize the protection of the individuals participating in such research, as well as their communities, and view research not as an enterprise undertaken by researchers, but rather as a negotiated exchange between researchers, participants, and c- munities that also involves interplay with funding sources, ancillary partners, and governments.
From the reviews:
"The use of case studies makes this a rich book that contributes to the research ethics literature. The discussion of the cases and the ethical issues each case raises give readers a better appreciation of the breadth and depth of the relevant ethical and scientific concerns." -Ana Smith Iltis, Ph.D., St. Louis University Center for Health Care Ethics, DOODY REVIEW
"Loue (Case Western Reserve Univ.) and Pike (AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland) present a series of reflections surrounding HIV/AIDS research. … The chapter topics and case studies are apt, and the analyses throughout are thought-provoking. The volume is well suited for use by science and medical students. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners." -R. E. Kraft, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008
"I am not sure who would want to read a more comprehensive treatment of the subject than this work. ... Never was a treatise on research ethics more needed." -Philip E. Veenhuis, MD, MPH. JAMA. Vol. 300(5), 2008
"For the first time, scholars tackle the moral complexities of the work in which HIV researchers have been engaged and highlight implications of the decisions being made in the field. These are decisions that can literally have life and death implications for those who participate in HIV-related research. ... Loue and Pike have found a way to establish a united approach, addressing these issues through highlighting their commonly held beliefs and perspectives, and producing a beautifullyorchestrated volume where the realities of science dance in perfect tempo with the needs for protecting human rights. ... important reading for numerous audiences ..." -Julianne M. Serovich, Ph.D., Columbus, Ohio. The Journal of Legal Medicine, 29 (2), 2008
