Abstract

Legacies of colonialism and poverty have combined with the current global economy to worsen the impact of natural disasters in Africa and the Caribbean with HIV being but one source of crisis and suffering in desperate need of attention. Understanding HIV infection in poor countries demands that researchers struggle with issues such as income inequality land reform the alienation of peasants from the land labor migration colonial and post-colonial patterns of industrial exploitation the resulting proliferation of informal settlements gender hierarchies and the increasing separation of children from their formal family connections. Only through an understanding of the specific social and historical contexts can effective measures be designed and implemented to prevent HIV infection or cope with its impact. Poverty and social disruption demand that moral issues be evaluated within a different framework. Selected literature on sexual behavior and changing social conditions Cubas public health policy women and HIV infection HIV infection and global travel and policy issues are reviewed.

非洲和加勒比地区的艾滋病人类学
殖民主义和贫穷的遗留问题与目前的全球经济相结合,加剧了非洲和加勒比地区自然灾害的影响,而艾滋病毒只是危机和痛苦的一个根源,迫切需要引起注意。了解贫穷国家的艾滋病毒感染需要研究人员努力解决诸如收入不平等、土地改革、农民与土地的异化、劳动力迁移、殖民和后殖民的工业剥削模式、由此导致的非正式定居点的扩散、性别等级制度以及儿童与正式家庭关系的日益分离等问题。只有通过了解具体的社会和历史背景,才能设计和实施有效的措施来预防艾滋病毒感染或应对其影响。贫穷和社会混乱要求在不同的框架内评价道德问题。审查了关于性行为和不断变化的社会条件、古巴公共卫生政策、妇女与艾滋病毒感染、艾滋病毒感染和全球旅行以及政策问题的选定文献。
