The aim of the article is to shed light on cases of stigma among the youngest victims ofthe AIDS epidemic, a topic that Polish readers may not be familiar with. Since the verybeginning of the AIDS epidemic, hemophiliacs have been classified as belonging to theso-called highest risk group, next to homosexuals, drug addicts, and prostitutes. In the ageof hysterical anxiety centered around HIV, young hemophiliacs quickly became the subjectof social repression and persecution.An extremely valuable material that shows the strength of the social stigma, as seen andexperienced from the perspective of a young patient, is Ryan White’s diary documenting hisillness. Ryan’s autobiography illustrates perfectly the development of a negative mythologyconcerning the disease and reveals its destructive potential. The portrayal of the young hemophiliacis a compendium of knowledge about the social mechanisms of stigmatisation,and in particular of strategies aimed to control fear.

Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie mało znanych polskiemu czytelnikowi przypadków stygmatyzacji najmłodszych ofiar epidemii AIDS. Hemofilicy od samego początku epidemii AIDS znaleźli się w tzw. najwyższej grupie ryzyka, obok homoseksualistów, narkomanów i prostytutek. W dobie histerycznego lęku budowanego wokół HIV, młodzi hemofilicy szybko stali się przedmiotem społecznych represji i prześladowań.Niezwykle cennym materiałem, ukazującym siłę społecznej stygmatyzacji, widzianej i doświadczanej z perspektywy młodego pacjenta, jest dziennik z czasu choroby Ryana White’a (My Own Story). Autobiografia Ryana ilustruje doskonale proces budowania negatywnej mitologii choroby, obnażając jednocześnie jej destrukcyjny potencjał. Wystąpienie młodego hemofilika to prawdziwe kompendium wiedzy na temat społecznych mechanizmów stygmatyzacji, w tym przede wszystkim dotyczących strategii zarządzania strachem.
