Identifying the existing challenges and shortfalls of China's
current HIV/AIDS programming, this book provides an understanding
of the history of HIV/AIDS in China, comparing government responses
to global best practice in prevention and treatment. Considering
three key populations in China, namely, female sex workers, people
who inject drugs and floating migrants, Living in the Shadows of
China's HIV/AIDS Epidemics highlights the effects of high mobility
and marginalisation on the spread of HIV in China. It is argued
that these groups often suffer from stigmatisation and a lack of
human security, resulting in sub-optimal outcomes for HIV/AIDS
intervention and prevention efforts and the reinforcement of
high-risk behaviours, further contributing to the transmission of
the virus to the general population. In adding to the emerging body
of literature, this book further elucidates the myriad of
challenges posed by HIV/AIDS epidemics, allowing sustained
engagement and a fresh insight into how governments might respond
to the needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, both in China and
globally. Including case studies which give voice to research
participants in a rich and engaging way, this book will appeal to
students and scholars of Chinese Studies, Asian Studies,
International Relations and Political Science, as well as those
engaged in epidemiological studies in the Health Sciences.
