Both the Moral
Majority, who are recycling medieval language to explain
AIDS, and those ultra-leftists who attribute AIDS to some
sort of conspiracy, have a clearly political analysis of the
epidemic. But even if one attributes its cause to a
microorganism rather than the wrath of God, or the workings
of the CIA, it is clear that the way in which AIDS has been
perceived, conceptualized, imagined, researched and financed
makes this the most political of diseases.

of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has
already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which

dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the
market by actually curing anyone.
-- Barbara Ehrenreich
1941-, American Author,

are crowded with death and it draws so oddly on the sexual

annihilation.

Aim at the
sun, and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far
higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself.
-- Joel Hawes
Sometimes I
have a terrible feeling that I am dying not from the virus,
but from being untouchable.
