记录与思考:农村有偿献血与HIV感染

Rural Commercial Blood Donation, HIV Infection and China’s New Economy

中原农民有偿献血者中出现大批HIV感染是一种特殊意义的流行病学现象,同时也是新的经济文化中出现的社会现象。理解这一现象,可以帮助我们认识中国经济改革所带来的深远社会文化变更。

Notes from the field are intertwined with the medical anthropologist’s intellectual and emotional reactions to present a social and cultural analysis that places HIV infection among commercial blood donors in rural central China in the context of China's expanding economy, now embedded in a globalizing capitalist market. The emergent culture provides the key to understanding the epidemic's unique epidemiology among rural blood donors.
