Politics, Policies and Ethics of HIV/AIDS: Past and Present
Politics, Policies and Ethics of HIV/AIDS: Past and Present
Warwick University’s Centre for the History of Medicine will be holding a Sexual Health Awareness Week (SHAW) from the 23rd-27th November 2009. SHAW will provide information on sexual health, raising awareness amongst students, while also exploring the University’s encounter with STDs - in particular its experience of the emergence of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s and 90s. Health activists and public health scholars, as well as ex-students and former staff, will help us to explore the shifts that have occurred in perceptions of STDs and in sexual health politics.
A Witness Seminar on 24th November will feature some of the most prominent names in HIV/AIDS research and activism over the last three decades, including the founding members of major UK and international HIV/AIDS-related charities such as Sir Nick Partridge OBE, Tony Whitehead MBE, Dr Rupert Whitaker and Simon Watney:

A Conference on 25th November brings together international scholars working on HIV/AIDS infection in its national and global contexts since the 1980s.
