I explore the relationship between public health and human rights by examining the Brazilian government's policy of free and universal access to anti-retroviral medicines for people with HIV/AIDS. The Brazilian government's management of the HIV/AIDS epidemic arose from initiatives in both civil society and the governmental sector following the democratization of the country. The dismantling of authoritarian rule in Brazil was accompanied by a strong orientation toward human rights, which formed the sociopolitical framework of Brazil's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Even if the Brazilian experience cannot be easily transferred to other countries, the model of the Brazilian government's response may nonetheless serve as inspiration for finding appropriate and lifesaving solutions in other national contexts.
我通过审视巴西政府为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者提供免费和普遍获得抗逆转录病毒药物的政策,来探讨公共卫生与人权之间的关系。巴西政府对艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的管理源于该国民主化之后民间社会和政府部门的倡议。巴西独裁统治的瓦解伴随着对人权的强烈关注,这构成了巴西应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的社会政治框架。即便巴西的经验无法轻易推广到其他国家,但巴西政府的应对模式仍可能为在其他国家背景下找到适当的救命解决方案提供启发。
