The fight against HIV and Aids involves not only medical issues, but also raises fundamental ethical questions. Hence, rather than approaching the socially significant subject of HIV/Aids primarily from a medical or technical research perspective, this volume deliberately examines it as a field of ethics. Contributions from the fields of theology, religious studies, philosophy, jurisprudence, media studies, political studies, medicine and economics have been compiled here in a single volume for the first time, in order to address the ethical perspectives of HIV and Aids.
