In a world where HIV treatment has transformed the political and embodied landscape of the disease, this important book addresses the understudied gendered politics of HIV treatment., "In a world where HIV treatment has transformed the political and embodied landscape of the disease, this important book addresses the understudied gendered politics of HIV treatment." -Mark Hunter, University of Toronto, "[The authors] conclude, principally, that we cannot design effective interventions against the virus, the stigma, and the social determinants of women's specific vulnerabilities to HIV without careful attention to gender. I believe they make the point convincingly, with a richness of detail and sensitivity to nuance and emotional lives that commonly escapes biomedical discourse. I would certainly recommend the book as a resource for people entering the field." --International Journal of African Historical Studies, "[T]he book is a much-needed contribution to research on the social construction of illness, gendered inequality and global gender injustice, and the lives of people living with HIV." --International Social Science Review, "[The authors] conclude, principally, that we cannot design effective interventions against the virus, the stigma, and the social determinants of women's specific vulnerabilities to HIV without careful attention to gender.

This book will appeal to scholars and students of psychology, public health, public policy, and African studies."-- African Studies Quarterly "In a world where HIV treatment has transformed the political and embodied landscape of the disease, this important book addresses the understudied gendered politics of HIV treatment."--Mark Hunter, University of Toronto, "The developing theme of this text offers Africanists a solid platform to think critically about global politics, social class, racism, and gender injustice and their impact on the spread of HIV infection in marginalized populations south of the Sahara.
