AIDS AND 5EXUALIT IN NOVELS<br />

Since the beginning of the AlDS epidemic, several novels, both in Fr<strong>en</strong>ch<br />

and English, have explored the impact of this disease on the expression of<br />

sexuality. Following a cont<strong>en</strong>t analysis of these novels, the dominant socio­<br />

sexual themes are compared to those pres<strong>en</strong>t in the literature on syphilis in<br />

order to extract continuities and changes in the perception of illness and<br />

eroticism.<br />

Keywords<br />
