Abstract

Abstract This article examines the emergence of a synergy that allowed the early development of what was once considered the best anti-AIDS program in the developing world. Initial responses to AIDS in Brazil during the 1980s and early 1990s were marked by a confrontation between activists concerned with human rights, and a government focusing on biomedical management of the epidemic. After 1992, activists, medical researchers, government officials, international donors like the Ford Foundation, health officers, and multilateral agencies like the World Bank were galvanized to cooperate. This was a complex process of braiding knowledge and practices related to activism, science, public health, governance and philanthropy in which each constituency maintained its independence. The result was a complex, holistic, and nuanced AIDS program. The process helped bridge the gap between knowledge and advocacy, generated public awareness, and was instrumental to reducing AIDS mortality developing local human resources and comprehensive policies.

编织公共卫生与人权:艾滋病、激进主义和巴西的国际机构,1987–1996
本文探讨了协同作用的出现,这种协同作用使得发展中国家曾经被认为是最好的抗艾滋病项目的早期发展成为可能。20世纪80年代和90年代初,巴西对艾滋病的初步反应是关注人权的活动人士与侧重于该流行病的生物医学管理的政府之间的对抗。1992年之后,活动人士、医学研究人员、政府官员、福特基金会等国际捐助者、卫生官员以及世界银行等多边机构都受到了合作的激励。这是一个复杂的过程,将与行动主义、科学、公共卫生、治理和慈善事业有关的知识和实践编织在一起,其中每个选区都保持其独立性。结果是一个复杂的、整体的、细致入微的艾滋病项目。这一进程有助于弥合知识和宣传之间的差距,提高公众认识,并有助于降低艾滋病死亡率,制定当地人力资源和综合政策。

期刊介绍: The Latin American Research Review is the premier interdisciplinary journal that publishes original research and surveys of current research on Latin America and the Caribbean. Interdisciplinary offerings reflect ahead-of-the-curve research, as well as new directions of knowledge creation in areas such as cultural studies, Latino issues and transnationalism, all of which increasingly intersect with Latin America in ways that are intellectually challenging and illuminating.
