This edited collection brings together the social dimensions of
three key aspects of recent biomedical advance in HIV research:
Treatment as Prevention (TasP), new technologies such as
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), and the Undetectable equals
Untransmittable (U=U) movement. The growth of new forms of
biomedical HIV prevention has created hope for the future,
signalling the possibility of a world without AIDS. In this
context, the volume discusses the profound social, political and
ethical dilemmas raised by such advances, which are to do with
readiness, access, equity and availability. It examines how HIV
prevention has been, and is, re-framed in policy, practice and
research, and asks: How best can new biomedical technologies be
made available in a profoundly unequal world? What new
understandings of responsibility and risk will emerge as HIV
becomes a more manageable condition? What new forms of blame will
emerge in a context where the technologies to prevent HIV exist,
but are not always used? How best can we balance public health's
concern for adherence and compliance with the rights of individuals
to decide on what is best for themselves and others? Few of these
questions have thus far received serious consideration in the
academic literature. The editors, all leaders in the social aspects
of HIV, have brought together an innovative and international
collection of essays by top thinkers and practitioners in the field
of HIV. This book is an important resource for academics and
professionals interested in HIV research. Chapters "Anticipating
Policy, Orienting Services, Celebrating Provision: Reflecting on
Scotland's PrEP Journey", "How the science of HIV
treatment-as-prevention restructured PEPFAR's strategy: The case
for scaling up ART in 'epidemic control' countries", "Stigma and
confidentiality indiscretions: Intersecting obstacles to the
delivery of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis to adolescent girls and young
women in east Zimbabwe" and "The drive to take an HIV test in rural
Uganda: a risk to prevention for young people?" are available open
