With the advent of antiretroviral drugs, however, the meaning of an HIV diagnosis changed radically. These transformative drugs enable people living with HIV to lead a healthy, regular life. But how has this shift impacted the representation of gay men and HIV in popular culture? Positive Images is the first detailed examination of how the relationship between gay men and HIV has transformed in the past two decades. From Queer as Folk to Chemsex, Dion Kagan examines literature and visual culture across the English-speaking world to unearth the socio-cultural foundations underpinning the 'post-crisis' period. His analyses provide acute insights into the fraught legacies of the AIDS crisis and its continued presence in the modern queer consciousness--back cover. 410 0$aLibrary of gender and popular culture ;$v14. 517 3 $aGay men & HIV/AIDS in the culture of 'post crisis' 606 $aGay men in mass media 606 $aGays in popular culture 606 $aAIDS (Disease) in mass media 606 $aHIV (Viruses)$xSocial aspects 606 $aHIV infections$xSocial aspects 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects 606 $aHomosexuality, Male$xpsychology 606 $aAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome$xpsychology 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aMass Media 606 $aAttitude to Health 606 $aSocial Identification 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGay men in mass media. 615 0$aGays in popular culture. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease) in mass media. 615 0$aHIV (Viruses)$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aHIV infections$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xSocial aspects. 615 12$aHomosexuality, Male$xpsychology. 615 22$aAcquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome$xpsychology. 615 22$aPopular Culture. 615 22$aMass Media. 615 22$aAttitude to Health. 615 22$aSocial Identification. 676 $a362.19697/9200811 700 $aKagan$b Dion$01067983 712 02$aBloomsbury (Firm), 801 0$bNLM 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511903803321 996 $aPositive images$92552316 997 $aUNINA
