人们认识到，艾滋病涉及多种流行病。 除了艾滋病毒流行病之外，我们还经历着与艾滋病有关的恐惧和羞辱、替罪羊和歧视的流行病。 在本文中，我们调查这些反应的性质和它们之间的联系。 在此过程中，我们确定了其中的一些原因。 我们同样调查反反应，其中最突出的是促进尊重人和人权的概念。 我们还研究了“工具”用于引发和体现这些反应和反反应。 在所有情况下，这些“工具”包括语言的选择，特别是在隐喻和比喻的形式，以及使用象征。 我们的结论是，为了人道和同情地对待艾滋病和艾滋病患者，并最终保护社会（包括其所依据的基本原则和规则），一项首要要求是承认我们都是艾滋病患者，无论是感染艾滋病还是受艾滋病影响;也就是说，在艾滋病方面，我们必须克服将"他们"和"我们"区分开来的做法。
It is recognized that AIDS involves multiple epidemics. As well as an epidemic of HIV, we are experiencing epidemics of fear and of stimatization, scapegoating and discrimination associated with AIDS. In this paper, we investigate the nature of these reactions and the links between them. In doing so, we identify some of their causes. We likewise investigate counter-reactions, pre-eminent among which is the promotion of concepts of respect for persons and for human rights. We also examine the 'tools' used to elicit and manifest both these reactions and counter-reactions. In all cases, these 'tools' include choice of language-especially in the form of metaphor and rhetoric-and the use of symbolism. We conclude that in order to deal humanely and compassionately with AIDS and persons with AIDS, and, ultimately, to protect society (including, the fundamental principles and rules on which it is based), a primary requirement is to recognize that we are all living with AIDS, whether infected or affected by it; that is, in the context of AIDS, it is imperative that we overcome any divisions into 'them' and 'us'.
