Abstract

This article analyzes, from an ethnographic scope, the ways in which HIV/Aids policies are developed in a municipality located in the northeast of Gran Buenos Aires (Argentina). It focuses specifically on what the professionals from the Municipal Program for HIV/Aids Assistance and Prevention call “contacts and friendship networks” and its relation to local responses given to the epidemic. It is based on the reconstruction and analysis of interviews, observations, conversations and quotidian interactions with the professionals registered between 2016 and 2018. From this analysis we convey that personal relationships are a central component of HIV/Aids related sanitary policies in this municipality, and that they establish and maintain particular conditions for HIV/Aids epidemic management and healthcare.
