Literary and Visual Representations of HIV/AIDS: Forty Years Later explores how film and literature about the HIV/AIDS crisis expand upon the issues generated by the epidemic. Looking at media from the 1980s to today, the representations of HIV/AIDS and their political ramifications shift across time.
