First published in 1998, Chris Beyrer’s ground-breaking work War in the Blood provides a vivid and eye-opening . Offers honest insights on sex between men, drug use, sex work, and transgender people in Southeast Asia
Offers honest insights on sex between men, drug use, sex work, and transgender people in Southeast Asia. Beyrer offers pragmatic solutions to inspire a new generation of leaders. Midnight Poonkasetwattana, Asia-Pacific Community of MSM Organizations (APCOM)). Chris Beyrer is the Desmond Tutu Professor of Public Health and Human Rights at Johns Hopkins University, and he was formerly President of the International AIDs Society.
It is still the definitive work on Southeast Asia's HIV/AIDS epidemic; but it is also a beautifully wrought travel memoir, written by a compassionate & intelligent observer. I have recommended it to many people interested in Burma. Beyrer often loses his focus, shifting from discussing the AID epidemic to devoting entire paragraphs to an examination of Thai architecture and the temples of Chiang Mai. I applaud his effort to try to interweave cultural themes, but unfortunately this book reads like a travel guide loosely tied together.

Effective treatment for HIV and AIDS came in 1996. 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. Three decades later, having served as president of the International AIDS Society, he believes we have arrived at an extraordinary milestone.
Since its original publication, significant gains have been made in HIV prevention, but the region continues to face profound challenges in both the treatment and containment of the disease.

War in the Blood: Sex, Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia Chris Beyrer (London and New York: Zed Books/Bangkok: White Lotus, 1998), 256 pp. War in the Blood is part travelogue, epidemiological detective story and political analysis of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Southeast Asia.
War in the Blood: Sex, Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia Chris Beyrer (London and New York: Zed Books/Bangkok: White Lotus, 1998), 256 pp. Chris Beyrer manages to unite these seemingly disparate styles through his obvious passion for the places and people he writes about as much as through his ability to weave these different perspectives together. This book is something of a departure from the literature on HIV/AIDS.
