Notes

The author thanks Mark P. Lagon and Matthew Carnes for their valuable inputs and comments.

1. This book is recommended reading for anyone interested in the evolution of HIV/AIDS and human rights.

2. Jonathan Mann was particularly interested in the effect of health policies on human rights, the health impact of human rights violations, and the inextricable connection between promoting and protecting health and rights.

3. In January 2003, under President George W. Bush the United States committed US$15 billion over five years to address the international AIDS epidemic. Full implementation of PEPFAR began in June 2004 and by 2012 the United States was a leading financier having invested over US$37 billion in bilateral funding and over US$7 billion in the Global Fund. Fact Sheet, November 29, 2012. Washington, DC, http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/11/201195.htm.

4. In this chapter “tension” does not imply “opposite.” It refers to the forces that influence possibly equally important demands. Different actors balance these tensions differently, which in turn affects the evolution of HIV/AIDS, human rights, and human dignity.

5. See Lagon and Kaminski’s chapter 6 in this book.

6. A “theory of change” is a specific and measurable description of a social change. It depicts a causal outcomes-based model that articulates underlying assumptions and hypotheses about why something will cause something else. Theories of change capture complex initiatives. They often start with a goal and then link outcomes and activities to explain how and why the desired change is expected to come about. Consult: http://www.theoryofchange.org.

7. UNAIDS brings together the resources of its Secretariat (based in Geneva) and eleven UN system organizations: ILO, UNDP, UNESCO, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNODC, UN Women, the World Bank, WFP, and WHO, http://www.unaids.org/en/aboutunaids/unaidscosponsors/.

8. Gabriel Jaramillo was an able general manager of the Global Fund during 2012. Since January 2013, the executive director of the Global Fund is Mark Dybul, who in 2006–2009 served as the US global AIDS coordinator, which includes PEPFAR.

9. Publications that bring human rights thinking together with sound public health policy in a clear and consistent way are: The International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights 1998 (HR/PUB/98/1) and 2006 (consolidated version) (http://www.unaids.org) and The AIDS Pandemic: Complacency, Injustice and Unfulfilled Expectations, by Lawrence O. Gostin (University of North Carolina Press, 2004).

10. See the web pages of these agencies under jobs or employment.

11. Social transformation refers to individual and societal processes. Within the social system, transformation refers to large-scale social change leading to cultural reforms. At the individual level it refers to a reciprocal relationship whereby people are correctly identified with the cultural expectations of their particular class membership. It requires that individuals have their social position be validated by others.

12. The People Living with HIV Stigma Index is a research tool used to capture data on HIV-positive people’s experiences and perceptions regarding stigma and discrimination, http://www.stigmaindex.org.
