And the Band Played On: Epidemiological Research and Bioethical and Psychological Aspects in the HIV Pandemic
Abstract The HIV pandemic and the spectrum of diseases associated with its syndrome (AIDS) were noted for the first time in the early 1980s in the United States, with cases of death from pneumonia associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. The epidemiological investigation carried out by different teams in the United States –but mainly focusing on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention– is portrayed in the film And the band played on (1993), by Roger Spottiswoode. Almost 30 years after its release, the film is still iconic and closely portrays the events of the investigation. This article presents a detailed analysis of the research process, the bioethical issues involved, and the psychological factors that allows to analyze the group and social confrontations of the epidemiological event that marked a before and after in the 20th century. It is suggested to use the film as a teaching tool.
