For sufferers in the developed world, this marked a true watershed moment: the end of the death sentence. But for many in the developing world, including in Southeast Asia, these new treatments remained far out of reach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his early thirties, following the loss of his partner to an AIDS-related illness, Chris Beyrer wrote the first edition of \u003ci\u003eWar in the Blood\u003c\/i\u003e. Three decades later, having served as president of the International AIDS Society, he believes we have arrived at an extraordinary milestone. For the first time, a patient has been demonstrably cured of HIV, new vaccine trials in Thailand have shown great promise, and the PrEP programme genuinely works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo why are over half of the estimated 38.8 million people living with HIV still not on treatment? \u003ci\u003eWar in the Blood\u003c\/i\u003e is a labour of love, both a celebratory account of Southeast Asia and the story of our failure to protect those most vulnerable the world over - gay men, adolescent girls, sex workers, drug users, and transgender women. Beyrer offers an impassioned plea for our communities and governments - and our own hearts and minds - to stop denying the realities of sex, sexuality, and gender, and to take affirmative action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Beyrer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786991934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786991935\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Chris Beyrer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46767207776511,"sku":"9781786991935","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6d7e55a-f3a6-415a-9b1f-bed72f78b3dd.jpg?v=1744169145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-in-the-blood-chris-beyrer-9781786991935","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
