First Published in 1989. In November 1987, the second U K Conference on Social Aspects of AIDS took place at the Polytechnic of the South Bank in London.

Amongst those present were educationalists, psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists, as well as representatives from statutory and voluntary sector organizations providing services for those affected by AIDS.
