Résumé :

[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS BltR0xJE. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This manuscript draws connections between chemoprophylaxis and the biomedical model of disease that emphasizes individual behavior. We argue that chemoprophylactic HIV interventions have limited utility at the population-level, and that structural interventions need to be prioritized. We use the recent CAPRISA 004 and iPrEx trials to (a) critique the utility of these trials from a public health perspective by highlighting the difference between efficacy and effectiveness, (b) apply an alternative theory of health behavior as a way to reorient the field toward the discussion of the need to employ structural interventions, and (c) examine two aspects of HIV prevention efforts - funding structures and iatrogenic effects of biomedical approaches - as a means of overcoming obstacles to more widespread adoption of structural interventions.
