A construção social da prevenção biomédica do HIV
O artigo analisa as maneiras pelas quais as estratégias biomédicas de prevenção do HIV têm sido socialmente construídas na produção do conhecimento científico, nos debates sobre as políticas de HIV e no desenho e implementação de programas de saúde pública. Examina as mudanças de diferentes perspectivas nas pesquisas e na prática de saúde pública relacionadas à prevenção do HIV, como essas mudanças são historicamente moldadas e os interesses polí…
The Social Construction of Biomedical Prevention of HIV
This article analyzes the ways in which biomedical HIV prevention strategies have been socially constructed in the production of scientific knowledge, in debates on HIV policies, and in the design and implementation of public health programs. It examines different perspectives, shifts in public health research and practice related to HIV prevention, how these shifts are historically shaped, and the complex and often contradictory political and ec…
Stigmatisation and resistance processes
Stigmatisation processes constitute key barriers to effectively addressing the HIV pandemic. In this article, we provide a critical overview of this field's current state of the art, highlighting some key emerging issues that merit greater research attention in the future to ensure that contemporary research on stigmatisation and resistance processes continues to engage with changing social and political circumstances. We look at how resistance t…
Epidemics of signification and global health policy
Over the past four and a half decades, the history of the HIV and AIDS pandemic has gone through a number of different phases, which can be thought of as distinct waves in terms of the social and political response that the pandemic has generated. Over the course of this history, there have been important battles over the meanings and interpretations that the response to the pandemic has produced. But especially over the past decade, there seems …
Epidemias de significação e políticas de saúde global
Nas últimas quatro décadas e meia, a história da pandemia de HIV passou por várias fases que podem ser pensadas como ondas distintas em termos da resposta social e política que a pandemia gerou. Ao longo dessa história, houve batalhas importantes sobre os significados e interpretações que a resposta à pandemia produziu. Mas, especialmente na última década, parece haver uma crescente desconexão entre as alegações de sucesso feitas por muitas agênc…
On the genealogy of the global health justice movement
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that the struggle for global health justice must be our highest priority. To understand the challenges that such a priority faces, we must recognise that this struggle has a long history, and to analyse current challenges within this historical perspective. This commentary explores the gradual construction of the global health justice movement during different historical periods (tropical/colonial…
Latin America at the margins? Implications of the geographic and epistemic narrowing of ‘global’ health
To explore the narrowing of the concept of 'global' in global health, this article traces how Latin America has held a place of both privilege and power as well as marginalisation in the field. We employ a modified extended case method to examine how Latin America has been 'seen' and 'heard' in understandings of global health, underscoring the region's shifting role as a key site for research and practice in 'tropical medicine' from the mid-ninet…
Refazendo a prevenção ao HIV na 5a década da epidemia
A chegada da 5a década da epidemia de Aids sob o impacto da pandemia da Covid-19 trouxe importantes desafios para a prevenção do HIV/Aids. Este ensaio buscou sistematizar as reflexões produzidas em projeto desenvolvido pela Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de Aids que conjugou debates sobre o momento presente das respostas à epidemia com o resgate da história social da Aids e da prevenção. Trata-se da história social da epidemia de Aids nos…
Pela urgente e definitiva inclusão dos campos de identidade de gênero e orientação sexual nos sistemas de informação em saúde do SUS
Neste documento trazemos um posicionamento para a comunidade científica e a sociedade civil acerca do desafio imposto à vigilância e às ações em saúde no Brasil relacionadas à monkeypox. Apresentamos pontos e encaminhamentos que podem subsidiar os aprendizados e os avanços a partir do atual cenário
A call for the urgent and definitive inclusion of gender identity and sexual orientation data in the Brazilian health information systems
In this document, we present to the scientific community a proposal on how to deal with the challenge imposed on surveillance and health actions in Brazil regarding monkeypox, including points and directions that have the potential to support learning and enable advances in the current scenario
(Re)imagining research, activism, and rights at the intersections of sexuality, health, and social justice
The Covid-19 pandemic inaugurated a new global order of public life and health marked by death, despair and alienation. As a crisis of a global scale, it made the task of (re)imagination simultaneously necessary and extremely difficult. It is this double bind of the difficulty and imminence of imagination that motivates the curation of this special issue. In this introduction, we map the connections between the theme of this volume and the key id…
Critical Consciousness for Connectivity
Systemic oppression creates a context in which Latinx LGBTQ+ youth experience social isolation. Social isolation has been associated with mental and physical health disparities, including disproportionate levels of depression, substance use, self-harm, and attempted suicide. These disparities are often magnified in rural and suburban areas with fewer identity-affirming spaces. This community-engaged study reports on the formative process of devel…
Framing HIV and Aids
This study explored how leaders of Black churches active in the fight against HIV conceptualised sex and sexuality when describing HIV interventions within their institutions. We analysed interviews with pastors and identified three frames through which leaders understood and communicated about sex and sexuality: (1) an evasive frame, in which participants avoided discussing behaviours and populations that have historically been disparaged within…
HIV prevention among gay and other men who have sex with men
This article revisits the history of HIV prevention for gay and other men who have sex with men in relation to public health policy and the role of LGBT and AIDS-related social movements in Brazil. An interpretive study was undertaken informed by philosophical and phenomenological hermeneutics. It included interviews with policymakers, researchers and activists involved in HIV and AIDS, especially HIV prevention among gay and other men who have s…

The contested global politics of pleasure and danger
This special issue of Global Public Health brings together papers examining how sexuality, gender, health and human rights have become increasing visible and highly contested within global health. The papers included here question and explore the often contradictory processes through which global equity-seeking populations negotiate pleasure and danger across multiple arenas (including HIV and AIDS, LGBTQ+ health and rights, intersex rights, sex …
Social isolation and connectedness as determinants of well-being
Social and structural determinants of youth alcohol use in Tanzania
Adolescent alcohol use remains an under-addressed population health issue across Africa. Although the literature explores the intersection of alcohol use and vulnerability to HIV and AIDS, there is limited evidence on the gendered uptake and use of alcohol among adolescents. Capturing adolescents' voiced experiences about the societal influences shaping their alcohol usage is essential for identifying contextually relevant interventions to reduce…
Categorical dilemmas
In Vietnam, HIV continues disproportionately to affect men who have sex with men and transgender women, and the increase in HIV prevalence in these populations may be related to a lack of tailoring of current prevention approaches, which often fail to address social diversity within these populations. To effectively respond to HIV in Vietnam, it is imperative to identify sub-populations within the broad category of 'men who have sex with men' (MS…
Desafios do tratamento como prevenção do HIV no Brasil
Segundo as diretrizes globais atuais, a realização do teste anti-HIV é crucial para o sucesso da estratégia do ‘tratamento como prevenção’ (TcP) e controle da Aids. Dado o compromisso do Brasil com essa política, este artigo objetiva caracterizar os princípios e justificativas do TcP e discutir os desafios da sua implementação. A reflexão é orientada por uma revisão sistemática da literatura internacional de 2005 a 2015 sobre estratégias de capta…
Analysing power and politics in health policies and systems
This special issue of Global Public Health presents a collection of articles that analyse power and its mechanisms in health systems and health policy processes. Researchers have long noted that the influence of power is implicated throughout the global health field, yet theories and methods for examining power-its sources, workings, and effects-are rarely applied in health policy and systems research. By engaging with the social sciences and hum…
Social inequities and contemporary struggles for collective health in Latin America
As part of a planned series from Global Public Health aimed at exploring both the epistemological and political differences in diverse public health approaches across different geographic and cultural regions, this special issue assembles papers that consider the legacy of the Latin American Social Medicine and Collective Health (LASM-CH) movements, as well as additional examples of contemporary social action for collective health from the region…
Bodies, pleasures, and passions
Originally published in the early 1990s, Bodies, Pleasures, and Passions quickly became a classic ethnographic study of the social, cultural, and historical construction of sexuality and sexual diversity. Drawing on extensive field research and interviews, together with the analysis of historical and literary texts, anthropologist Richard Parker mapped out the multiple cultural systems that structure gender, sexuality, and erotic practices in Bra…

Sexual culture, HIV transmission, and Aids research
The spread of the international AIDS pandemic has drawn attention to the urgent need for data on human sexual behavior; yet the absence of an established tradition of theory and method in sex research has limited the development of initiatives in this area. This has been particularly evident in the lack of attention given to the ways in which cross‐cultural differences structure the meaning of sexual experience. While survey research can play an …
Sociology of Leisure
In the 1970s the subject of leisure was attracting interest among both social scientists and people concerned with developing recreation policies. A relative newcomer to the sociological scene at the time, leisure was beginning to compete in research effort and theory-building with the more established fields of sociology. As well as making an academic contribution, this book, originally published in 1976, provided practitioners (such as planners…
Between Individual Agency and Structure in HIV Prevention
When HIV prevention targets risk and vulnerability, it focuses on individual agency and social structures, ignoring the centrality of community in effective HIV prevention. The neoliberal concept of risk assumes individuals are rational agents who act on information provided to them regarding HIV transmission. This individualistic framework does not recognize the communities in which people act and connect. The concept of vulnerability on the oth…

Comfortably, Safely, and Without Shame
In recent years, the menstrual hygiene management challenges facing schoolgirls in low-income-country contexts have gained global attention. We applied Gusfield’s sociological analysis of the culture of public problems to better understand how this relatively newly recognized public health challenge rose to the level of global public health awareness and action. We similarly applied the conceptualization by Dorfman et al. of the role of public he…
Qualitative research on homosexual and bisexual behavior relevant to HIV/Aids
The spread of the international AIDS pandemic has drawn attention to the urgent need for data on human sexual behavior; yet the lack of an established tradition of theory and method in sex research has limited the development of research initiatives in this area. This has been particularly true in the study of homosexual and bisexual behavior, which has relied heavily on the use of quantitative survey methods that largely fail to address cross‐cu…

Objectives. We explored how young men’s perceptions of and participation in hip hop culture—urban social and artistic expressions, such as clothing style, breakdancing, graffiti, and rap music—and how contextual factors of the hip hop scene may be associated with their condom use, condom-use self-efficacy, and sense of community. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 95 African American and Latino men aged 15 to 25 years as part of a …

Work and Non-Work in Three Occupations
Retrospective 'Bridging' of Three Occupational Groups
The concept of 'retrospective bridging' is suggested to describe those occupations in which experience of other kinds of work is relatively frequent. This is complementary to 'prospective bridging', indicating the potentialities which one occupation holds for movement to another. Bank workers are shown to have little retrospective mobility by comparison with youth employment and child care officers. Occupation, not sex, is the major factor in det…

Migration, Sexual Subcultures, and HIV/Aids in Brazil
By late 1993, the Brazilian Ministry of Health had recorded nearly 45,000 cases of AIDS-the highest number of cases reported in Latin America, and among the highest number anywhere in the world. Since its emergence little more than a decade earlier, the AIDS epidemic had taken shape as among the most serious public health problems in the country, and official estimates that more than 750,000 Brazilians are already infected with HIV suggest that t…
