[Social sciences and AIDS].

Abstract:

:The social nature of AIDS and its transmission in the context of social relations that are intimate and resistant to social control, justify assigning the social sciences a significant role in fighting AIDS. The social sciences should be involved in conceptualizing, understanding, and modifying the processes favoring the spread of AIDS and hampering treatment. Various approaches have evolved in the response of the social sciences to AIDS, from a focus on behavior to increased interest in structural aspects and more recently to a concern with issues of power and vulnerability. The social sciences did not contribute much that was new at the Twelfth World Conference on AIDS in Geneva, but some results of previous social science research have been significant, such as affirmation that sex education does not speed initiation of sexual activity and definition of possible strategies for work with intravenous drug users. The work of social scientists has demonstrated the importance of the gender perspective and the need for mechanisms of qualitative and quantitative evaluation, true community participation, and respect for human rights in all actions related to the epidemic. The most immediate challenge for social scientists will be to find ways to reduce the vulnerability resulting from inequality.
