This book delves into the discourse of a post-AIDS culture, exploring the significant medical-discursive shift from a crisis-oriented perspective focused on death to a survival-oriented outlook emphasizing living. Contributions from a diverse group of international scholars offer insightful perspectives on the cultural, social, political, scientific, historical, global, and local interpretations of the term "post-AIDS" as it pertains to meaning-making on health, illness, and well-being.

The chapters in this book critically examine and connect meanings of post-AIDS to a wide range of topics, including neoliberalism, race, gender, advocacy, disclosure, relationships and intimacy, stigma and structural violence, family and community, migration, work, survival, normativity, NGOs, transnational organizations, aging and end-of-life care, the politics of ART and PrEP, mental illness, campaigns, social media, and religion. Through the use of various methodological tools, the scholarship within this book seeks to understand how post-AIDS or the End of the Epidemic is communicated and interpreted in everyday discourse, identify the current meanings circulating around HIV and AIDS, and provide comprehensive commentary and critique of this post-AIDS era.

This book is of paramount importance for scholars and students engaged in the fields of health communication, sociology of health and illness, medical humanities, political science, and medical anthropology. It also serves as a valuable resource for policy makers and activists who are interested in understanding the complexities and implications of the post-AIDS landscape.
