In the end one cannot avoid the conclusion that AIDS unites certain human themes— homosexuality, sexual disease, and death— about which society actively resists enlightenment. These are things that we are unwilling to address or even think about. We don't want to understand them. We would rather fear them.

Martin Amis, 'Making Sense of AIDS', The Moronic Inferno and Other Visits to America (1986)
