The naming of AIDS in 1982 marked a pivotal moment in shaping responses to the crisis, influencing public perception and the stigma surrounding it.
Many AIDS activists preferred terms like 'people with AIDS' instead of 'AIDS victims,' emphasizing their humanity and agency in a society marked by stigma.
Moral and religious rhetoric significantly impacted the AIDS crisis, intertwining health, sexuality, and cultural beliefs from the beginning of the epidemic.
The AIDS epidemic was not simply a medical issue but also a moral one, reflecting broader cultural contexts, including LGBTQ+ histories and religious views.
