HIV responsibilisation: Stigma, disclosure, and care in the age of 90‐90‐90

“…Our intention in this paper has been to extend perspectives on responsibilisation by detailing how possibilities for health operate within a multiplicity of responsibilities that at times work to extend neoliberal discourses of personal accountability but at other times destabilise and challenge its jurisdiction. Scholarship within geography and the social sciences has skilfully revealed how neoliberal logics ingrained in inequitable, unjust, and uncaring societal structures challenge health management through inaccessible healthcare for populations most in need (Lopez, 2019; van Riemsdijk, 2010), the privatisation of medical supplies and care (Montes & Paris Pombo, 2019; Schwiter et al, 2018), and the marginalisation of populations as they become caring agents for the state (Olson, 2019; Teke Lloyd, 2019). We build on these studies by calling attention to competing responsibilities, which we identify as the paradoxical nature of responsibilities that simultaneously exist and are produced within the neoliberal, bureaucratic apparatus of the state, yet simultaneously emerge and are enmeshed within interpersonal and intimate relationships, networks, and connections embedded in distinct places.…”
