HIV Support Groups and the Chronicities of Everyday Life in eSwatini.

Drawing on ethnographic research, I examine the evolution of HIV support groups and biosociality during the "treat-all era" in eSwatini. I show how support groups are shaped by local actors to cater to a need for social solidarity that transcends diagnostic status, and thereby move beyond donors' HIV-centric rationales to use the groups for HIV treatment scale-up. In this particular phase of the HIV epidemic, I suggest, support groups make up a particular kind of biosociality, which is shaped by shared experiences of structural vulnerability to chronic illness, and a desire to be prepared for future diseases and other misfortune.
