In the mid-1990s new treatment options introduced a new era of
AIDS. This book is a sophisticated study of the shaping of this new
era. Well informed by ethnographic as well as statistical data, it
reveals the complex and ambiguous processes of change in the field
of HIV/AIDS and beyond. The investigation leads from the changing
conceptions of disease and body to the re-defined roles of patients
and physicians, and eventually treats the shifts in the production
and diffusion of knowledge that the health care system underwent.
In doing so, the book captures the new era of AIDS from multiple
perspectives and through the voices of physicians as well as people
with HIV. It offers an accessible and engaging account of the
wide-ranging responses this illness caused.
As an original and timely contribution to questions of
considerable currency in medicine and the social sciences, the book
meets the interests of specialists, professionals, researchers and
students alike.
