Abstract
GONZALEZ-GUZMAN, Ismael José and RAYMUNDO, Marcia Mocellln. Distributive justice, humanitarian reason and HIV-AIDS. Rev. colomb. bioét. [online]. 2023, vol.18, n.1, e01. Epub Jan 19, 2024. ISSN 1900-6896. https://doi.org/10.18270/rcb.v18i1.4124.
Purpose/Background:
This article analyzes some injustices experienced by those living with HIV-AIDS in the city of Bogotá (Colombia).
Methodology/Approach:
To this end, it makes an approach to bioethics seeking to support the distributive nature of justice in relation to HIV- AIDS; then, based on Didier Fassin's academic work, he addresses the humanitarian reason category to reveal the challenges that underlie the absence of a specific policy for HIV- AIDS.
Results/Findings:
It offers recommendations that allow transforming the practical-political spaces of citizen participation for decision-making in health, in such a way that political justice is ensured within the framework of HIV- AIDS.
Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions:
The work makes a contribution to the social reflection of bioethics in Latin America and the Caribbean because it exposes a concrete moral phenomenon (HIV-AIDS), from a certain cultural scenario (Bogotá), where life, dignity and human rights are at stake due to the absence of a specific government policy that responds appropriately to the serological reality stated here.
Keywords : Social justice; humanitarian reason; HIV- AIDS; government policy; bioethics; bio-vulnerability.
