Opis

As HIV/AIDS has evolved from an acute crisis into a chronic, long-term problem, it remains what it has always been: a medical condition that is far more than a medical condition. As Gilbert Cole relates, we still struggle with the need to read HIV/AIDS as a moral text that links certain sexual practices and stigmatized identities with punishment, suffering and death. Thus, the revelation of being HIV positive remains a disclosure fraught with meaning.
