AIDS / Elizabeth Fee ; Daniel M. Fox (1992)

Titre : AIDS : the making of a chronic disease / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Elizabeth Fee ; Daniel M. Fox Editeur : Berkeley : University of California Press Année de publication : 1992 Importance : 430 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-520-07569-6 Résumé : In this followup to AIDS: The Burdens of History, editors Elizabeth Fee and Daniel M. Fox present essays that describe how AIDS has come to be regarded as a chronic disease. Representing diverse fields and professions, including epidemiology, history, law, medicine, political science, communications, sociology, social psychology, social linguistics, and virology, the twenty- three contributors to this work use historical methods to analyze politics and public policy, human rights issues, and the changing populations with HIV infections. They examine the federal government's testing of drugs for cancer and HIV and show how the policy makers' choice of a specific historical model (chronic disease versus plague) affected their decisions. A powerful photo essay reveals the strengths of women from various backgrounds and lifestyles who are coping with HIV. A sensitive account of the complex relationships of the gay community to AIDS is included. Finally, several contributors provide a sampling of international perspectives on the impact of AIDS in other nations." "When AIDS was first recognized in 1981, most experts believed that it was a plague, a virulent unexpected disease. They thought AIDS, as a plague, would resemble the great epidemics of the past; it would be devastating but would soon subside, perhaps never to return. The media as well as many policy makers accepted this historical analogy. Much of the response to AIDS in the United States and abroad during the -- first five years of the epidemic assumed that it could be addressed by severe emergency measures that would reassure a frightened population while signaling social concern for the sufferers and those at risk of contracting the disease." "By the middle 1980s, however, it became increasingly clear that AIDS was a chronic infection, not a classic plague. As such, the disease had a rather long period of quiescence after it was first acquired, and the periods between episodes of illness could be lengthened by medical intervention. Far from a transient burden on the population, AIDS, like other chronic infections in the past (notably tuberculosis and syphilis), would be part of the human condition for an unknown--but doubtless long--period of time. This change in the perception of the disease, profoundly influencing our responses to it, is the theme unifying this rich sampling of the most interesting current work on the contemporary history of AIDS.

Punishing Disease - HIV and the Criminalization of Sickness / Trevor Hoppe (2018)

Titre : Punishing Disease - HIV and the Criminalization of Sickness Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Trevor Hoppe, Auteur Editeur : Berkeley : University of California Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 274 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-520-29160-7 Langues : Anglais Résumé : From the very beginning of the epidemic, AIDS was linked to punishment. Calls to punish people living with HIV-mostly stigmatized minorities-began before doctors had even settled on a name for the disease. Punishing Disease looks at how HIV was transformed from sickness to badness under the criminal law and investigates the consequences of inflicting penalties on people living with disease. Now that the door to criminalizing sickness is open, what other ailments will follow ? With moves in state legislatures to extend HIV-specific criminal laws to include diseases such as hepatitis and meningitis, the question is more than academic. "What happens when a nation seduced by carceral solutions confronts a dreaded disease linked to sex and drugs ? Punishing Disease is a wake-up call about the dangers of punitive approaches to stopping the spread of disease." Cote SEXSI : G.03.HOP.01
