Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Strengthens Primary Health Care: Lessons from Rural Haiti [pdf]
David A. Walton, Paul E. Farmer, Wesler Lambert, F. Léandre, Serena P. Koenig, and Joia S. Mukherjee
These members of the Partners In Health/Zanni Lasante team working in Haiti describe how they learned that integrated AIDS prevention and care, including the use of antiretroviral agents was feasible in resource-poor settings and may have a favorable impact on primary health care—including vaccination, family planning, tuberculosis case finding and cure, and health promotion.

Indicators of Biomedicalization in Alcohol Studies: Implications for Policy [pdf]
