we begin confronting the reality of which countries can afford to
declare an 'end to the pandemic', and which ones can't A unique
feature of this book is that its center and focus is on persons
living with HIV - It highlights their experiences and voices It
examines the discourse of a "post-AIDS" culture using a range of
methodological tools, and the medical-discursive shift from crisis
and death to survival and living It includes contributions from a
diverse group of international scholars, and interrogates and
engages with the cultural, social, political, scientific,
historical, global, and local consumptions of the term "post-AIDS"
from the perspective of meaning-making on health, illness, and
well-being This book will be an essential read for scholars and
students of health communication, sociology of health and illness,

Diversity plays an important role in how people experience illness
and healthcare as patients. Listening carefully to stories of how
race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and disability can affect
patient experience can be revealing and provide much needed change
to health communication in the patienthood narrative. This book is
a collection of vibrant and engaging essays by scholars of
narrative methods in health communication. Each chapter takes
readers into the fascinating world of patients who use stories from
their personal lives to challenge us to rethink, reimagine, and
reformulate what health communication means in practice. Each
section of the book focuses on an important aspect of the theory
and practice of the patienthood narrative. Part one explores the
important ways that telling and sharing patient's stories can lead
to learning, empowerment, and advocacy. Part two explores several
key forms of diversity and how they affect patienthood. Part three
illustrates how personal, relational, and cultural aspects of
identity intersect to shape the patient experience.
