Fault Lines of Care: Gender, Hiv, and Global Health in Bolivia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The HIV epidemic in Bolivia has received little attention on a global scale in light of the country's low HIV prevalence rate. However, by profiling the largest city in this land-locked Latin American country, Carina Heckert shows how global health-funded HIV care programs at times clash with local realities, which can have catastrophic effects for people living with HIV.
