 AB    The social construction of disease and responses to it has implications
       not only for how nurses approach caregiving responsibilities but also
       for how we strategize for and participate in prevention efforts and
       elaborate priorities for advocacy. Historical review of responses to
       public health threats, along with critical examination of current social
       constructions of disease and public health practice, can inform our
       theory building and offer important insights for educators and
       clinicians striving to improve the care of people with acquired
       immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Understanding what underlies responses
       is key to effecting changes. Although unique, AIDS has commonalities
       with other diseases and public health threats, past and present. Thus
       lessons learned from the past may be applicable to the current
       situation.
