Abstract

Chapter 3 is dedicated to the politics of HIV and AIDS. The spread of and response to this epidemic played perhaps the most significant role in connecting the politics of human rights to the policies of health rights and responsibilities. By tracing the trajectory of the HIV and AIDS epidemic and the debates surrounding it – from its incited moral imperative to fatigue over its persistence – this chapter focuses on the rights/responsibilities dichotomies introduced in the previous chapter. Going further, it highlights the rise of health – including of treatment(s) – as a human right, and the parallel emergence of non-state actors as realizers of health rights. In doing so, this chapter anticipates both the emergence of other zoonoses – emerging infectious diseases (EIDS) – as well as the immersion of non-state actors into the health realm, which has re-ordered the relationship between individual health rights and state guarantors of health (care).

“The polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, is a technique used to amplify DNA through thermocycling—cycles of temperature changes at fixed time intervals. Using a thermostable DNA polymerase, PCR can create numerous copies of DNA from DNA building blocks called dinucleoside triphosphates or dNTPs. There are three steps in PCR: denaturation, annealing, and elongation. Denaturation is the first step in the cycle and causes the DNA to melt by disrupting hydrogen bonds between the bases resulting in single-stranded DNA. Annealing lowers the temperature enough to allow the binding of oligonucleotide primers to the DNA template. During the elongation step DNA polymerase will synthesize new double-stranded DNA,” available at: http://www.jove.com/science-education/5056/pcr-the-polymerase-chain-reaction.

This is not meant as a suggestion that blood banks be used as testing points. What it is meant to point out is that too few people use health care access to undergo an HIV test. As a result, even blood that is tested and which tests negative, continues to carry a (in the West almost negligible, but nonetheless existent) chance of infection.
