More than 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, yet only a small fraction have access to life-saving treatments. For many years, governments, pharmaceutical companies, and even some international relief agencies have called this a tragic but unavoidable situation, given the high cost of the medications used to fight HIV. A small but growing group of activists, however, have banded together to prove that the obstacles to universal HIV treatments are mostly human-made, and thus can be overcome by human actions. "Drugs into Bodies" chronicles the birth and expansion of the global AIDS treatment activist movement, focusing in particular on the U.S.-based organisation Health GAP. Drawing on the legacy of the protest group ACT UP and other earlier AIDS activism, Health GAP and like-minded allies have forged a global network to combat the AIDS crisis in Africa and throughout the developing world. This book tells the story of how AIDS treatment activists have defied the dictates of globalisation, altered government policies, shamed multinational corporations, secured funding for treatment, and brought hope to millions of people with HIV.
