Abstract
ABADIA-BARRERO, CÉSAR ERNESTO. POLÍTICAS Y SUJETOS DEL SIDA EN BRASIL Y COLOMBIA. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2004, vol.40, pp.123-154. ISSN 0486-6525.
BASED ON HISTORIC, ETHNOGRAPHIC, AND IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW RESEARCH DATA, this article analyzes the Brazilian and Colombian responses to the AIDS epidemic and proposes associations among these responses, the subjects who have designed and implemented them, and the countries' health care reforms. Data suggest that the health care policies, the AIDS responses, and the thoughts of the people involved in these processes are linked and that such linkage has a relationship with a historical moment of leftist ideologies in Brazil and rightist ideologies in Colombia.
Keywords : Health policies; AIDS; social medicine; privatization; Colombia; Brazil.
