| Abstract | "Empowerment" may be a diffuse and enigmatic concept or process but is gaining a currency within the ideologies of care. The largest group of service users in HIV & AIDS care are gay men and empowerment could be characterised as agency within existing social networks and volunteer organisations through their struggle with "expert systems". Whilst differing discourses of self-help and empowerment are emerging their coexistence may serve different agendas from the a priori controlling influences of the unequitable power of professionals. |
