 AB    In health services research about the utilization by and financing of
       health services for people with AIDS, women kin as caregivers virtually
       disappear and the sacrifices made by women kin become socially
       invisible. Any role that women play is subsumed under the rubric
       community care. The health services perspective is contrasted with the
       lived realities of caregiving by women kin as documented in data from a
       needs assessment of people with AIDS which the New Jersey Department of
       Health commissioned and then disregarded. The disregarding of women's
       caregiving is part of larger hegemonic processes that maintain concealed
       structures of domination.
