ABSTRACT
What, then, is it to be responsible in the time of AIDS? What are the justifications for and problems with deploying the criminal law against people who transmit HIV to those with whom they are engaged in acts of sexual intimacy? And what does the use of criminal law in this context reveal to us about the law itself ? This book has been an attempt if not to answer those questions then at least to address them in a sustained and critical way. In this last chapter it is not my intention to review in detail everything that has already been said. Instead, I want first to summarise the key themes that have emerged during the discussion before concluding with some reflections on the way in which the criminal law approaches, and constructs, the subject of responsibility.
