The idea behind both "Illness as Metaphor" and "AIDS and Its Metaphors" is that society's response to diseases that it does not yet understand is to construct fantasies about them. The metaphorical packaging of AIDS, she argues, increases the suffering of the afflicted while creating unneeded anxiety among the population at large. The disease is felt to be obscene, its name becomes a curse, its diagnosis a death sentence. The stigma and fantasies attached to the disease literally kill because they discourage patients from aggressively asking the questions and seeking the treatment that might save their lives.
