Description
Summary:The main goal of this paper is to analyze how HIV prevention is being influenced by different ethical theorics,. The artide statės that theories like biologism, liberalism, pluralism, utilitarism and proportionalism have the biggest influence on the content of HIV prevention. As a separate case, the idea of "safer" sex is being discussed in the context of utilitarism and proportional¬ism. The article shows that proportionalism, as an ethical theory, has even affected official statements that were made by the local authorities of the Church, for example in France (statement on AIDS: Society Question) or in the US (statement The Many Faces o/AIDS). The article expresses concern that prevalence of certain ethical theories, which have no support by the Magisterium of the Church, may affect the participation of the Church in preventional activities.
