Drawing on such process thinkers as Whitehead, Deleuze and
Stengers, Innovation and Biomedicine develops a powerful framework
for the analysis of Biomedical Innovation. With its sustained focus
on the Pre-Exposure Prophylactic pill (PrEP) for the prevention of
HIV infection, the volume explores the ethical, medical and
political elements entailed in the pill's testing through offshore
randomized control trials (RCTs). To this end, the key concept of
'eventuation' is elaborated and deployed in the scrutiny of the
'gold standard' status of RCTs, the role of ethics in RCTs, and the
enactment of the PrEP pill as a singular entity. Further, the
authors engage with affective, topological and virtual dimensions
to show how PrEP's eventuation also allows for new scientific and
ethical questions to be crafted. Innovation and Biomedicine is a
major contribution to science and technology studies, medical
sociology, and the multi-disciplinary study of HIV.
