Communicating Prevention: Queer Activism, Health Education Campaigns and Lived Experiences of HIV/AIDS in Scotland, 1980s-90s.

作为苏格兰首个深入了解艾滋病毒/艾滋病历史的项目，该项目审查了地方、区域和国家对这一流行病的反应--从1980年代初报告的第一例病例，到1990年代末引入抗逆转录病毒疗法。它调查了在爱丁堡被称为“欧洲艾滋病之都”的时候，这种病毒是如何改变同性恋激进主义、公共卫生传播战略以及受影响个人的日常生活的。今天，艾滋病毒在世界范围内的流行率正在上升。该项目将对卫生史、口述历史和苏格兰研究做出及时和实质性的贡献，背景是一场持久的全球危机。

The first in-depth history of HIV/AIDS in Scotland, this project examines local, regional and national responses to the epidemic-from the first reported cases in the early 1980s, to the introduction of antiretroviral therapies in the late 1990s. It investigates how the virus transformed queer activism, public health communication strategies, and the everyday lives of affected individuals at a time when Edinburgh was known as the 'AIDS capital of Europe'. Today, HIV prevalence is increasing worldwide. The project will make timely and substantive contributions to health history, oral history, and Scottish studies against a backdrop an enduring global crisis.
