Resumen

La irrupción del VIH-SIDA en el panorama de las enfermedades contemporáneas, significó retos insospechados para la ciencia y desató fenómenos inéditos dentro de la cultura popular y el manejo de las políticas públicas. Este artículo hace un recuento de la lucha contra la pandemia desde los momentos inciertos de las exploraciones iniciales para identificar su origen, hasta el hallazgo de medicamentos antivirales que han logrado frenar el ritmo de su expansión. Además de repasar las cifras de los estragos que el SIDA ha causado en ciertas poblaciones, presenta la secuencia de las principales creencias y reacciones sociales que, por una parte facilitaron el surgimiento de una cultura de discriminación en contra de ciertos grupos sociales, y por otra, motivaron acciones de defensa de las víctimas de la pandemia y de solidaridad con la causa de luchar contra el contagio del virus. Finalmente, entra de lleno a presentar el SIDA como problema público y describe el proceso del desarrollo científico que, a partir de la identificación del VIH, condujo a la producción de antivirales, siempre con la mirada puesta en la obtención de una vacuna
