Type | Article | en_US |
Abstract | Brazil is renowned for its progressive and early response to the AIDS
epidemic. Brazil was among the first countries to provide free and
universal access to AIDS treatment. This article discusses Brazil’s evolving
civil society movement related to HIV/AIDS and explains its critical role
in developing Brazil’s HIV/AIDS policies and the country’s National AIDS
Program. This article examines these developments in historical context
and argues that the Brazilian response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic was
strongly influenced by the interaction of civil society institutions with
nascent democratic institutions that stemmed from Brazil’s two decadelong
process of democratization. Brazil’s domestic institutions, in turn,
had lasting impacts on global health institutions. | en_US |
