Abstract

▼ AbStrAct In this article, I address some infectious diseases that never really “ended,” even though their morbidity, their social impact, and their public visibility have faded away: AIDS, syphilis, and measles. I will use data from different projects I have conducted on each of those epidemics: HIV/AIDS at the doctoral training level in the 1990s, with a geographical focus on Brazil and the United States; syphilis in the context of a 2010 project on the social history of health in Lisbon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and measles as part of my current project on labor migration in the 19th century, with a focus on epidemic outbreaks in migrant ships from Madeira to Hawaii.

梅毒、艾滋病和麻疹的永恒之谜

▼ AbStrAct在这篇文章中，我谈到了一些从未真正“结束”的传染病，尽管它们的发病率、社会影响和公众知名度已经消失：艾滋病、梅毒和麻疹。我将使用我对每一种流行病进行的不同项目的数据：1990年代博士培训阶段的艾滋病毒/艾滋病，地理重点是巴西和美国；2010年里斯本19世纪末20世纪初健康社会史项目背景下的梅毒；麻疹是我目前关于19世纪劳动力移民项目的一部分，重点关注从马德拉到夏威夷的移民船上的疫情。
