In recent years observers of the long-term shaping of the Australian HIV epidemic as a health matter, have witnessed an
unexpected run of legal complaints and cases for homosexual and heterosexual transmission. It appears that an important
part of the social drive behind these claims is an unintended effect of positive social movement activity. A new confidence

mixed outcomes of such advocacy are now visible in individualised grievances that potentially undermine the collective
ethical project of safe sex. (Authors abstract)
