Recenzii

"An important book. Jones skillfully argues that treatment is replete with paradoxes for both treatment programs and human rights. In South Africa, where his case study is located,ARV rollout has been hotly contested. This is an intriguing and thought provoking book." - Professor Alan Whiteside, Director of Health Economics and HIV/AIDS Research Division, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban
"Challenging and thought-provoking, this deeply reflective text considers the conceptual and practical issues in the long struggle for AIDS treatment. From a human rights vantage point, this exploration of the personal, economic, social, cultural and political dimensions of access to AIDS treatment in South Africa offers important insights useful to all country contexts." - Sofia Gruskin, Director of the Program on International Health and Human Rights, Harvard School of Public Health
