AIDS is a dynamic, evolving, epidemic numerically, socially and geographically. Ignorance, denial and prejudice have been dominant features of our response. But the epidemic has also prompted new ways of thinking about how we understand the interface between illness, society and the individual. In this book Neil Small locates the AIDS epidemic in the context of changing times and of a changing world. Focusing on the experience of the epidemic in the UK and USA he looks at how we have talked about the epidemic and how we have sought, through research, to understand its social meaning.
