Join us on World AIDS Day to celebrate the publication of ‘Histories of HIV/AIDS in Western Europe: new and regional perspectives,’ edited by Janet Weston and Hannah J Elizabeth. Professor Matt Cook and Dr Nikolaos Papadogiannis will be in conversation with the editors and contributors.
The AIDS pandemic is often remembered in the context of the USA and the UK. UK statistics
from 1991 stated that men who have sex with men were by far the largest group affected
by AIDS, with the US Center for Disease Control attributing more than half of AIDS-related
deaths in the USA to this group. Because of these countries’ prominence in the global
AIDS conversation, it is perhaps not surprising that the AIDS pandemic is remembered
primarily through its effect on the LGBTQIA community. In Histories of HIV/AIDS in
Western Europe, editors Janet Weston and Hannah Elizabeth compile a series of essays
that aim to round out our historical understanding of AIDS, considering other key
risk groups and the regional variation that have, as yet, been overlooked.
