As an HIV seropositive individual for many years before his death on May 9, 1994, he was a full participant in, and critic of, the development of the gay community's response to the HIV epidemic both in Australia and internationally. Though Ariss' life is a definite presence in this study, \u003cem\u003eAgainst Death: The Practice of Living with AIDS\u003c\/em\u003e is not an autobiography. Instead, it is a unique and critical account of a public health crisis, a community's response, and the politics of sexuality. It was in Sydney, Australia, world-famous for its Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, that Robert Ariss lived and worked. It is his vision of that community - of its members infected with and affected by HIV - which is documented in this remarkable anthropological study. Yet the study's implications reach beyond Sydney to all communities living with HIV and AIDS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46932106150039,"sku":"9789056995645","price":2105.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789056995645.webp?v=1771618734","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/against-death-the-practice-of-living-with-aids-9789056995645","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
