ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIV & AIDS INTERVENTION PROGRAMMING
A cornerstone of anthropology is its focus on the entire human condition, and on the cultural foundations for human behavior. As a result of this holistic orientation to the human condition, anthropologists make substantial contributions to improving outcomes in multiple and diverse areas of HIV/AIDS intervention programming. Anthropologists also contribute to the larger frameworks of understanding the pandemic especially in specific settings, such as specifying social conditions that exacerbate the spread of HIV and hinder accessing care, revealing cultural beliefs and practices that support behaviors that put people at risk of contracting HIV, providing understandings for the feminization of the pandemic, and elucidating cultural and structural factors that support stigmatization.

AIDS AND ANTHROPOLOGY BIBLIOGRPAHY
This bibliography relies heavily on the initial bibliographical compilation: The AIDS Bibliography: Studies in Anthropology and Related Fields, edited by Ralph Bolton and Gail Orozco. The rights to electronically publish the work have been granted by the American Anthropological Association. This bibliography (1663 citations) was entered into Endnote, a bibliographical database by a student at Creighton University in the Spring of 2000 under a research grant provided by the graduate school at Creighton University. The original bibliography, published in October 1994 can be ordered from the American Anthropological Association.
A senior at Creighton Universtiy, Andrew Maloney, took on the updating of this bibliography as part of a reading and research course in Aids and Anthropology. He has incorporated the bibliographical updates provided in the Aids and Anthropology Bulletins, citations provided by AARG members, as well as his own bibligraphical research. The database under his care grew to a total of 2,546 citations. Dr. Bucko has resumed maintenance of the bibliography. In March of 2003 the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at the University of California San Francisco permitted us to add their on-line bibliography to ours. At this time we added 984 unique entries from their bibliography to our bibliography. This addition along with a significant number of citations from AARG members brings our total number of citation up to 4,086 and was last updated on October 10, 2004 . The bibliography was updated by Creighton University undergraduate Byron Borkowsk and uploaded December 3, 2006. Elizabeth Gluvna took up this task in the fall of 2007 and updated the bibliography based on member suggestions. The bibliography was increased to 4,245 items. Ray Bucko put out a call for new research in the fall of 2008 and through member response increased the database to 4,352 entries on September 27, 2009. The bibliography was again updated on April 20th 2009 after a large contribution of citations by AARG members. We are now at 4,367 items.
Special thanks to all AAGR members and others who generously submitted bibliographical items. Additionals items will be gladly received and periodically posted by Dr. Bucko. Please send these items to bucko@creighton.edu.
