"AIDS and the Sexuality of Law maps the relationship between sexuality and the law and science of AIDS as it evolved between 1985 and 1995. Joe Rollins undertakes a close reading of case opinions from the federal appellate courts during that time and argues that these scripts can be read productively through the interpretive lens of irony.

The 'raging' frenzy of the sex drive, to use Plato's phrase, has always defied control. However, that is not to say that every civilization has not tried, using its most powerful weapon: the Law.
