我们系统地研究了社区对泰国艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PHAs）及其老年父母的反应。我们关注父母和PHAs，因为父母是照顾患病成年子女的主要提供者。我们的分析是基于最近从广泛的角度收集的调查和定性数据的几个来源。我们发现社区对PHA及其家庭的反应存在重要差异，但总体而言，这些反应比人们普遍认为的要积极得多。我们的结论是，许多现有的研究社区对艾滋病的反应忽视了一个丰富的社会理论的耻辱和强大的传统，以人口为基础的实证研究在社会学-现有的研究也监狱充分区分的关键方面的社会环境中，大多数艾滋病病例发生的社会环境中，大多数的刻板印象艾滋病相关的耻辱起源。需要对社会耻辱感的经验和理论方法进行更密切的结合，以促进我们对艾滋病流行病这一至关重要的方面的理解。
We systematically examine community reaction to persons living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) and their older parents in Thailand We focus on parents as well as PHAs because parents are major providers of care for their ill adult children. Our analyses are based on several sources of recently collected survey and qualitative data from a wide range of perspectives. We find important variations in community reaction to PHAs and their families, but overall these reactions are much more positive than is widely assumed. We conclude that much existing research on community reaction to AIDS neglects both a rich body of social theory on stigma and a strong tradition of population-based empirical research in sociology Much existing research also jails to adequately distinguish between key aspects of the social settings where most AIDS cases occur and the social settings where most of the stereotypes surrounding AIDS-related stigma have originated. A closer marriage between empirical and theoretical approaches to social stigma is required to advance our understanding of this critically important dimension of the AIDS epidemic.
