Quatrième de couverture : "Dans les pays du Nord, les mobilisations associatives ont marqué très tôt l'histoire du sida. Qu'en est-il en Afrique, le continent le plus touché par l'épidémie ? Bien que des associations spécialisées y existent depuis de nombreuses années, peu d'attention leur a été accordée. Cet ouvrage, le premier d'une telle ampleur sur les dynamiques associatives liées au sida en Afrique, témoigne de l'évolution des formes collectives d'organisation et de résistance face à l'épidémie sur ce continent. Depuis le début des années 2000, le développement de l'accès aux traitements antirétroviraux et l'accroissement des financements internationaux ont transformé l'engagement et le travail associatifs. Ils ont aussi produit la diversification des catégories ciblées par les politiques de lutte contre le sida, incitant au recentrement des actions autour des "populations clés". Dans ce contexte de santé globale, les échanges entre les associations locales et les organisations du Nord ou internationales conditionnent plus que jamais les formes de l'action associative contre le sida en Afrique."

HIV is one of the most devastating infections in history. It remains, until now, a major threat to public health throughout the world, particularly in the poorest countries. Today, anti-retroviral treatment reduces viral load and improves the seropositif’s quality of life. However, there is still no cure because it has a latent reservoir. Vorinostat is a molecule used in the therapeutic arsenal to stimulate these reservoirs. This work synthesizes the use of this molecule in different treatments and especially in the treatment of AIDS and its mechanism of action. Le VIH est l’une des infections les plus ravageantes de l’histoire. Il demeure jusqu’ à présent une menace majeure pour la santé publique de par le monde particulièrement dans les pays pauvres. Aujourd’hui, un traitement antirétroviral permet de réduire la charge virale et améliore la qualité de vie des séropositifs. Cependant, il n’existe toujours pas de traitement curatif du fait, qu’il possède un réservoir latent. Le Vorinostat est une molécule utilisée dans l’arsenal thérapeutique pour stimuler ces réservoirs. Ce travail synthétise le mode d’action de cette molécule, son utilisation dans les différents traitements et surtout dans le traitement du SIDA.

Quatrième de couverture : "L'épidémie de sida touche principalement les homosexuels masculins, une "population" pourtant bien informée des moyens de prévention. Les explications courantes des expositions aux risques prennent rarement en compte les logiques engagées par les sujets. L'ouvrage, issu d'une recherche doctorale en psychologie clinique, propose un regard novateur sur la question de la prise de risques en relevant l'enjeu de l'analyse de ces logiques subjectives. Dans le prolongement de Freud et de Lacan, la thèse qu'il développe est la suivante : chez certains sujets, le sida prend une fonction fétichiste pouvant amener à des conduites d'exposition au risque ou de protection contre le risque. Cette variabilité est analysée comme un pari inconscient, dans lequel le sujet formule par l'acte une question fondamentale sur son existence. À rebours de toute visée normative, cette approche prend une position singulière et éthique dans les débats de santé publique. Elle montre que dans le domaine de la recherche en psychopathologie clinique, la psychanalyse lacanienne est une pratique et une théorie nécessaire."--Page 4 of cover.

In this innovative study, Lukas Engelmann examines visual traditions in modern medical history through debates about the causes, impact and spread of AIDS. Utilising medical AIDS atlases produced between 1986 and 2008 for a global audience, Engelmann argues that these visual textbooks played a significant part in the establishment of AIDS as a medical phenomenon. However, the visualisations risked obscuring the social, cultural and political complexity of AIDS history. Photographs of patients were among the earliest responses to the mysterious syndrome, cropped and framed to deliver a visible characterisation of AIDS to a medical audience. Maps then offered an abstracted image of the regions invaded by the epidemic, while the icon of the virus aspired to capture the essence of AIDS. The epidemic's history is retold through clinical photographs, epidemiological maps and icons of HIV, asking how this devastating epidemic has come to be seen as a controllable chronic condition.

AIDS activists are often romanticized as extremely noble and selfless. However, the relationships among HIV support group members highlighted in Landscapes of Activism are hardly utopian or ideal. At first, the group has everything it needs, a thriving membership, and support from major donors. Soon, the group undergoes an identity crisis over money and power, eventually fading from the scene. As government and development institutions embraced activist demands-decentralizing AIDS care through policies of health systems strengthening-civil society was increasingly rendered obsolete. Charting this transition-from subjects, to citizens, and back again-reveals the inefficacy of protest, and the importance of community resilience. The product of in-depth ethnography and focused anthropological inquiry, this is the first book on AIDS activists in Mozambique. AIDS activism's strange decline in southern Africa, rather than a reflection of citizen apathy, is the direct result of targeted state and donor intervention.

Approximately 70% of the global total of people living with HIV/AIDS in 2016 were in sub-Saharan Africa. After delayed governmental responses, the media has been consistently deployed as an essential tool for prevention. But HIV prevention campaigns reflect multiple conflicting and shifting agendas that encompass far more than the imparting of information about how to limit the spread of the virus. In Prevention: Gender, Sexuality, HIV, and the Media in Côte d'Ivoire, Christine Cynn draws from postcolonial, queer, and feminist film and media studies to critique global HIV prevention efforts and how they attempt to reshape gendered sexualities and notions of family in line with the rationality of neoliberalism.

A tidal wave of panic surrounded homosexuality and AIDS in the 1980s and early 90s. With the advent of antiretroviral drugs, however, the meaning of an HIV diagnosis changed radically. These transformative drugs enable people living with HIV to lead a healthy, regular life. But how has this shift impacted the representation of gay men and HIV in popular culture? Positive Images is the first detailed examination of how the relationship between gay men and HIV has transformed in the past two decades. From Queer as Folk to Chemsex, Dion Kagan examines literature and visual culture across the English-speaking world to unearth the socio-cultural foundations underpinning the 'post-crisis' period. His analyses provide acute insights into the fraught legacies of the AIDS crisis and its continued presence in the modern queer consciousness.
