Against Death: The Practice of Living with AIDS is an anthropological study by Robert Ariss, published in 1997, that examines the social, psychological, and biological experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS, focusing on the community response and identity politics that emerged during the epidemic, particularly within the context of gay communities in Australia and internationally.
