Series: Sexuality, Culture and Health

This book explores the relationship between COVID-19 and AIDS. It considers both how the earlier HIV pandemic informed our engagement with COVID-19, as well as the ways in which COVID-19 has changed how we remember and experience AIDS.

Individual sections focus on sexual and intimate relationships, inequalities and injustice, the progressive biomedicalisation of the response (in the absence of a vaccine or effective treatment or cure), and professional, practitioner and community perspectives on the pandemics. The authors come from a wide variety of backgrounds – including public health, nursing, law and legal studies, political studies, and the humanities and social sciences. The book contains contributions by established writers such as Dennis Altman, Shalini Bharat, Tim Dean, Deborah Lupton, Shubhada Maitra, Pauline Oosterhoff and Michael Tan, as well as chapters by Chris Ashford and Gareth Longstaff, Bernard Kelly, Dean Murphy and Kiran Pienaar, and Theodore (ted) Kerr.

This thought-provoking and timely volume includes case studies from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, the UK, the USA and Vietnam. It has been written for students and scholars from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, including sociology, healthcare, public health, social work, anthropology, and gender and sexuality studies. The book will also be of interest to the general reader who wants a better understanding of the social and cultural dimensions of modern-day pandemics and the personal and community responses to which they give rise.

Reviews for Viral Times: Reflections on the COVID-19 and HIV Pandemics

“Viral times: reflections on the COVID-19 and HIV pandemics explores how the COVID-19 pandemic can shape our understanding of the HIV pandemic, and vice versa…This book contains an important balance of personal and data-driven arguments, and the editors correctly identified how necessary both sides are given the prevalence and sensitivity of the issues discussed. They have carefully curated a selection of sharp, nuanced viewpoints and research. A wide range of topics are covered, with an important amount of diverse voices being heard: all contributors should be proud of their work here.” – Emma Starbuck, The Lancet Infectious Diseases
