Octávio Sacramento
(Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro - Centro de Estudos Transdisciplinares para o Desenvolvimento)
Fernando Bessa Ribeiro
Paper short abstract:
The paper examines the policies that frame, at different scales, the management of HIV/AIDS epidemic in Portugal.
Paper long abstract:
We try to understand the uncertainties, dissonances and contradictions that characterize the approach to HIV/AIDS in the Portuguese context. This is particularly evident when comparing the macro-guidelines drawn up by international organizations such as UNAIDS, the political rhetoric of the official documents that establish the Portuguese national strategy to combat AIDS and the routines and practices of major institutions in the field.
