Living With HIV in Post‐Crisis Times: Beyond the Endgame.

- Abstract
"Living With HIV in Post-Crisis Times: Beyond the Endgame" is a book that critiques the global discourses surrounding the "end of HIV/AIDS" paradigms and the reclassification of its medical status. The book examines models of care to promote positive living among people with HIV and explores how different communities and organizations advocate for quality health and well-being. It focuses on the management of treatment and care for people living with HIV, challenges assumptions of standardizing care, and questions the economic, political, and social responses to the "end of crisis" narratives. The book highlights the importance of addressing issues such as poverty, gender, sexuality, stigma, and discrimination in providing effective HIV interventions. It also emphasizes the need to consider the impact of other epidemics and the experiences of differently positioned individuals, organizations, and communities in navigating everyday life with HIV. The book concludes by calling for a reorientation of the logic of HIV chronicity and the implementation of comprehensive interventions that address social, mental, political, economic, cultural, and geographic aspects to eliminate disparities and improve the quality of life for people with HIV. The book provides valuable insights for medical anthropology and public health students and highlights the need for equitable and culturally responsive interventions for people with HIV. However, it is noted that the book does not cover the experiences of Black women with HIV in the United States, who face significant barriers to accessing care and are often overlooked in the HIV discourse.
