There has, historically, been understandable fear around<unk> osy and people with the disease have suffered<unk> , isolation and social exclusion. Expulsion of individuals infected with<unk> osy to quarantined areas or special institutions has been the general protocol since ancient times and was the recommended course of action by the<unk> osy Conference of Berlin 1897. As a result, the exclusion and quarantining of people infected with<unk> osy became law, hence<unk> osy<unk> es were formed. The inhabitants of these<unk> es had very little legal recourse in preventing their exclusion and, even after they were treated and cured, many had trouble reintegrating into society. Even by the 1960s, when<unk> osy was highly treatable and curable, it still resulted in repulsion, and the exclusion of sufferers, by the general populace. As<unk> osy became curable, the focus of study shifted towards investigating the social aspects of the disease. This has become relevant due to the fact that the disease is making a resurgence and is proving resistant to previous remedies.
