Naoružana okrepljujućom logikom, domišljatošću i svojim naočalama „javnozdravstvenog štrebera“, Elisabeth Pisani otkriva niz nedosljednosti u današnjim političkim sustavima, koji onemogućuju da učinkovito koristimo svoj novac u borbi protiv HIV-a. Njezino istraživanje grupa s povećanim rizikom – od narkomana u zatvoru do seksualnih radnica na ulicama Kambodže – pokazuje kako mjere, koje ponekad nisu intuitivne, mogu usporiti širenje ove razorne bolesti.

Elisabeth Pisani: Seks, droga i HIV - budimo razumni

Efforts to prevent HIV often falter because decision-makers ignore why people take risks in the first place. Addicts in Indonesia, for example, know sharing needles spreads HIV, yet most still share to avoid arrest, not out of ignorance. Harm reduction measures, like making clean needles available, have slashed infection rates where implemented, but politics and misplaced morality often block these solutions. Real progress depends on policies that reflect how people actually live and choose.
