In the United States, women account for a growing proportion of new HIV/AIDS cases. Yet, the experiences of women living with HIV/AIDS are often overlooked or marginalized. Troubling the Angels is a groundbreaking book that tells the stories of these women, giving voice to their experiences of stigma, discrimination, and loss, but also of resilience, hope, and love.

The book is based on in-depth interviews with 25 women living with HIV/AIDS in the San Francisco Bay Area. The women come from diverse backgrounds and experiences, but they share a common bond: they are all survivors. They have survived the stigma and discrimination that often accompany an HIV/AIDS diagnosis, and they have survived the physical and emotional challenges of living with the disease.

The women in Troubling the Angels are not defined by their HIV/AIDS status. They are mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, and lovers. They are artists, activists, and scholars. They are strong, resilient, and inspiring women who are living their lives to the fullest.

Troubling the Angels is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the experiences of women living with HIV/AIDS. It is a powerful and moving book that will change the way you think about the disease and the people who live with it.
