ABSTRACT: In 1982 public health officials became concerned that
the deadly diseases associated with AIDS--Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome--could be transmitted unwittingly through blood donations.
Hemophiliacs were also concerned because of the potential contamination
of Factor VIII taken to aid in clotting. Gays--suffering the greatest
impact of AIDS--feared that this issue would be used to stigmatize
their community. This article traces the controversy that surrounded
efforts to bar blood donations by gay men. It concludes with a
discussion of the proposed guidelines on blood donations issued
in March 1983 by the Public Health Service.

and the AIDS epidemic", Journal of Religion and Health 24 p218-238 Fall 1985
ABSTRACT: It is the assumption of this article that when the
etiology of an illness is framed in a "moral" language
and the illness in question affects religiously stigmatized and
legally proscribed minorities, the victims of the illness will
be blamed for their ill health. Evidence is given of the connection
between moralizing about a medical issue and the response of
the medical establishment. The role of religion in the definition
and interpretation of AIDS is emphasized as well as its effects
on gay people and gay life. A political analysis of AIDS and
its assumed causes is also given. These homophobic explanations
are viewed as attempts to disenfranchise and discredit gay life
further. Responsibility for containing AIDS is discussed in the
context of "brokenness" between and among gay people.
"Healing" is given as a necessary solution. [j].

ABSTRACT: Project directors: J Earl Thompson, Jr and Henry C Brooks.
This project is comprised of three basic parts. The first is a
survey of literature illustrating how the AIDS crisis constellates
an overwhelming array of psychosocial stressors on the person
infected by HIV and his or her's "family of origin"
and "family of choice". The second applies three tenets
of family systems theory (Bowen theory) and shows how it is an
effective and appropriate mode of intervention into the "family"
with AIDS. The last section is an analysis of the resulting "double-bind"
message to the homosexual community.

associated with the illness have long been ostracized and alienated

ABSTRACT: Project director: Carolyn J Bohler. This project assumes
that ministry is a part of the church's mission. The two main
objectives of the study are to minister to the spiritual needs
of the gay/lesbian person and his/her family, and to design and
implement a method of instruction which can help others better
understand the needs of gay/lesbian persons and minister to them
in the community of believers. The latter objective is addressed
through the design and testing of a workshop format which included
general information on homosexuality, social issues, AIDS, Scripture
and theology and general ministry to and with homosexual persons.
The workshop format is judged to be an effective method for broadening
the church's ministry through education.
