* CondemnedByHistory: While it was much lauded when it first came out, the book has since been blamed for a rash of laws that criminalize non-disclosure of HIV status. Activists have claimed that such laws have actually discouraged potentially-infected individuals from getting tested.
* HarsherInHindsight: Many HIV/AIDS activists have denounced the book for its portrayal of flight attendant Gaetan Dugas as a DepravedHomosexual who deliberately infected people with HIV. They argue that the book (and subsequent movie) were directly responsible for the creation of laws criminalizing deliberate nondisclosure of HIV status, which has in turn caused many potentially-infected individuals to avoid getting tested for fear of potential legal consequences.
