Today's shifting discourses regarding life and death are about
theology, medicine, economics, and politics as much as they are
about life and death. At the heart of one of these discourses is
HIV & AIDS, a pandemic that allows for a slippery discussion
about its origins and nature. Those who live in the borderland this
pandemic creates are often blamed for the affliction; they are seen
as 'dirty.' Yet, those who live or work with persons with HIV &
AIDS know another story of marginalizing macrostructures that
indicate that the issue is as much structural injustice as
individual responsibility. Theology in the Age of Global AIDS and
HIV is a courageous and challenging call to look at how dominant
theologies have participated in the creation of 'risk environments'
for susceptibility to this virus and to act so that our weeping and
raging with the suffering helps us learn how to care for one
another and be responsible theo-ethicists and global citizens in
this age of global AIDS and HIV.
