Drawing on long-term ethnographic studies, this book centres on
women who live with HIV in South Africa, Brazil and India and who
have fought, through transnational activist networks, to access
essential medicines through their country’s public health system.
The book traces the path of the individual to the national and
transnational to demonstrate the political and embodied
ramifications of policies governing AIDs medicine on individual
lives. Founded on two decades of ethnographic research, including
participant observation, participatory photography and film and
journey mapping, the book shows the ways in which HIV-positive
women have acted on national and global policies in their efforts
to access necessary medication and treatments. By tracing this
important struggle, the book reveals the lessons that were learned
by the activists and policy makers who were engaged in shaping
these vital policies.
