Abstract:

One of the fundamental characteristics of contemporary societies – modern , liberal , Globalized – is the generalization and expansion of ‘Social risk’ in which a variety of socio-psychological analyses coincide as a byproduct of economics and cultural transformations that taken place in the recent times ( Rosan vallan ,1995 , Lash 1997 , alexgender2000). Risk in general and HIV/AIDS related risk in particular becomes an organizing principle of social organization. Risk, then, is a relative concept that necessarily makes use of a reference in order to define itself. Risk is a social configuration that acquires individuals’ experiences of uncertain, temporarily distancing the experience of uncertain expectation in democratic Discourse manner. Above all, Risk is a ‘Social Fact ‘. The rationality of risk as a conceptualized by governmental studies in which individuals attributes disappear into large statistical distribution.
