Description
Occupational Hazards: Sex, Business, and HIV in Post-Mao China
This ethnography explores the relationship between elite masculine networking practices and vulnerability to HIV infection among Chinese businessmen and government officials. In Beijing and western Yunnan Province, Elanah Uretsky examines how informal networks built on social ties such as liquor, cigarettes, food, and sex contribute to occupational hazards.
The book sheds light on the complex socio-cultural and politico-economic negotiations that affect the development and administration of China's HIV epidemic. By revealing the stories of those who regularly engage with commercial sex workers but resist HIV testing due to fear of economic and political repercussions, Uretsky offers valuable insights into this pressing public health issue.
