From the very beginning of the epidemic, AIDS was linked to
punishment. Calls to punish people living with HIV-mostly
stigmatized minorities-began before doctors had even settled on a
name for the disease. Punitive attitudes toward AIDS prompted
lawmakers around the country to introduce legislation aimed at
criminalizing the behaviors of people living with HIV. Punishing
Disease explains how this happened-and its consequences. With the
door to criminalizing sickness now open, what other ailments will
follow? As lawmakers move to tack on additional diseases such as
hepatitis and meningitis to existing law, the question is more than
academic.
