The Sick Role and Stigmatization of HIV/AIDS Patients
Abstract
In the journal article AIDS as a Social phenomenon, the author Velimirovic puts forward such a claim: AIDS is not only an infectious disease, but also a social disease. He believes that it is more important to study the social, political, moral and legal aspects of AIDS than just the traditional medical issues related to the disease. In this journal article, Velimirovic mainly looked at AIDS as a social phenomenon and studied people's perception of fear and threat of disease and collective perception of disease. Although there is currently no effective cure for AIDS as a serious and highly contagious disease, the status of the major risk groups for AIDS is changing. The change of people's morality and values is beneficial to the effective implementation of AIDS prevention and control.
