This article examines the rationalistic aspects of HIV prevention discourse. Self-protection, altruistic and egalitarian rationalities are examined from the perspectives of self-regulation, surveillance medicine and risk identity. These themes are examined through 16 in-depth interviews with HIV-positive and HIV-negative gay men in relation to the (dis)order produced in risk administration. The analysis exposes some contradictions, the unequal relations of HIV-positive and HIV-negative gay men and links with notions of risky sex such as 'barebacking'. Some implications are identified, including the need for critical reflexivity in HIV prevention and an engagement with practices of resistance.
