中国艾滋病“问题”解析

Deconstruction of the“Problem”of AIDS in China

艾滋病在中国并不是一个简单的疾病流行的问题,而是具有中国独特性的社会问题。本文认为,中国的艾滋病“问题”是后于某些社会问题而出现的,因而具有相当鲜明的社会选择倾向,其危害也不仅仅指向个体生命,而是危及社会和谐运行的机制与可持续发展的前景。对此“问题”认知过程中产生的学理冲突既影响到有关政策的制定,又反过来建构了艾滋病“问题”的现状。据此,作者提出应从建设社区与社区的文化机制、流动人口的社会组织化、重新认识与定位青少年等方面入手,把艾滋病“问题”从危机转化为契机,从加强执政能力与促进社会良性运行的高度,推动构建和谐社会的进程。

Rather than being a simple issue of an epidemic, AIDS presents itself as a social problem with unique Chinese specificities. As the authors of this paper point out, AIDS as a“problem”follows other social problems in China, and thus shows an evident tendency of social selection. It endangers the very mechanism of a harmonious society and the prospect of sustainable development, as well as individual lives. The theoretical controversies arising in understanding and interpreting this“problem”not only find their way into related policy-making, but socially construct the status quo of AIDS in China. The authors suggest that efforts be made in community construction and the construction of a communal cultural mechanism, in social organization of floating population, and in adjusting our understanding and orientation of youth and youth culture, so as to transform the AIDS“problem”from a crisis to an opportunity, and to advance the construction of a harmonious society at the level of building up government capacity and promoting the benign operation of society.
