With the emergence of HIV terms such as “safe sex” or “high risk practices” became part of our everyday vocabulary. Besides the deployment of medications administered to control HIV, the development of prophylactics has led to a changing outlook for younger generations, that contrasts with the high mortality rate seen in the 1980s.

These changes contributed to a growing medicalization culture, which increasingly defines our behavior in terms of habits considered “correct” from a clinical perspective.
