Post-AIDS Discourse in Health Communication: Sociocultural Interpretations

This book will be a vital resource for researchers in the field of health communication, especially in the aftermath of COVID-19, as we begin confronting the reality of which countries can afford to declare an ‘end to the pandemic’, and which ones can’t

A unique feature of this book is that its center and focus is on persons living with HIV - It highlights their experiences and voices

It examines the discourse of a post-AIDS culture using a range of methodological tools, and the medical-discursive shift from crisis and death to survival and living

It includes contributions from a diverse group of international scholars, and interrogates and engages with the cultural, social, political, scientific, historical, global, and local consumptions of the term post-AIDS from the perspective of meaning-making on health, illness, and well-being

This book will be an essential read for scholars and students of health communication, sociology of health and illness, medical humanities, political science, and medical anthropology, as well as for policy makers and activists
