Abstract
This paper examines the belief that AIDS originated in Haiti. More specifically, this paper addresses how this belief affected Haitians living in North America, and how this belief complicated efforts to prevent AIDS among Haitians. Finally, the present paper also suggests possible roles for anthropologists and other scholars in addressing the problems posed by AIDS‐related discrimination.Keywords
