GARCIA, María Guadalupe. Global Policies and Therapeutic Itineraries: An Ethnography of Prevention of Perinatal Transmission of HIV in a Public Hospital in Buenos Aires. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.2, pp.63-84. ISSN 0486-6525.
This paper analyzes prevention strategies of HIV perinatal transmission in the medical care process of HIV women in a public hospital in the Buenos Aires suburbs. Based on analysis of medical devices and therapeutic itineraries, the ethnographic approach enabled us to identify a process in which women with HIV and their pregnancies were made visible and then left out of the focus of medical attention. This women were given priority for intervention as trial subjects and sources of statistical data and evidence for global scientific studies. Yet, their needs and demands were subsumed under the shifting list of priorities of the healthcare system.
