| description | Concerns about antiretroviral drug stock shortages and their consequences in terms of biological resistance to HIV treatment have gone relatively unnoticed until recently. Indeed, these problems that have recently taken a more important place in global health policies, have been put in the background of an international agenda since 2009 upheld by a global and voluntarist vision of the eradication of the disease and the achievement of "a world without AIDS" by 2030. The failure of antiretroviral therapies in resource-poor countries is even now described as the "fourth epidemic". While technical expertise is needed to understand these shortages and resistances to deal with them, a broader anthropological perspective allows to conceive them as the side effects of the massification of antiretroviral treatments involving intertwined intimate, biological and social dimensions. By proposing an ethnography of treatment failures in the Central African Republic, this article examines the biological, individual, social and political effects of a "pharmaceutical insecurity", experienced in many African settings, which constitutes the counterpart of the biological and political promises generated by mass treatments. |
