Living with HIV in Post-Crisis Times cover

Over the past decade, effective prevention and treatment policies have resulted in global health organizations claiming that the end of the HIV/AIDS crisis is near and that HIV/AIDS is now a chronic but manageable disease. These proclamations have been accompanied by stagnant or decreasing public interest in and financial support for people living with HIV and the organizations that support them, minimizing significant global disparities in the management and control of the HIV pandemic. The contributors to this edited collection explore how diverse communities of people living with HIV (PLHIV) navigate physical, social, political, and economic challenges during these so-called “post-crisis” times.

As the world enters the fifth decade of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, this volume offers an essential reminder that HIV is not over, particularly for the many activist and patient communities who risk being further marginalized by such discourses. These varied and ethnographically rich chapters provide a powerful record of where, how, and for whom HIV persists—and at what cost.
