Stories from two generations of gay men living in the midst of HIV-Aids
In Australia and other Western countries, gay men and intravenous drug users were particularly vulnerable to moral judgement and stigma in the early years of the HIV-AIDS epidemic.

Since the early 2000s, however, increased rates of HIV infection…

Instead, participants identified their experience as a mor…
