The HIV epidemic in Bolivia has received little attention on a
global scale in light of the country's low HIV prevalence rate.
However, by profiling the largest city in this land-locked Latin
American country, Carina Heckert shows how global health-funded HIV
care programs at times clash with local realities, which can have
catastrophic effects for people living with HIV who must rely on
global health resources to survive. These ethnographic insights, as
a result, can be applied to AIDS programs across the globe. In
Fault Lines of Care, Heckert provides a detailed examination of the
effects of global health and governmental policy decisions on the
everyday lives of people living with HIV in Santa Cruz. She focuses
on the gendered dynamics that play a role in the development and
implementation of HIV care programs and shows how decisions made
from above impact what happens on the ground.
