- Summary
- "Risky Rhetoric: AIDS and the Cultural Practices of HIV Testing is the first book-length study of the rhetoric inherent in HIV testing. In addition to providing a history of HIV testing in the United States from 1985 to the present, J. Blake Scott explains how faulty arguments about testing's power and effects have promoted unresponsive and even dangerous testing practices for so-called normal subjects as well as those deemed risky.".
- "The ultimate goal of Risky Rhetoric: AIDS and the Cultural Practices of HIV Testing is to develop better forms of testing and prevention, to offer policymakers, HIV educators and test counselors, and other rhetors strategies for developing more responsive and egalitarian testing-related rhetorics and practices."--BOOK JACKET.
