This book focuses analytical attention on how AIDS has been problematized in the PRC as an object of governance in international and national political frameworks and institutions, and through health interventions aiming to transform individual decision-making and behaviours. Exploring recent representations of the sexual behaviours of female sex workers, men who have sex with men and male migrant labourers, as a problem for public health, the book draws upon existing work on governmentality in the PRC, and offers new insights into the study of HIV and sex work.
