Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude et débat sur l'utilisation de l'eau de javel dans la prévention du sida : au-delà de la question du taux d'efficacité, controverse sur l'oppportunité de la distribution de l'eau de javel parmi les toxicomanes par voie intraveineuse ; problèmes politiques et sociaux, sur fond de politique répressive et diminution du financement de la prévention.
ENGLISH :
Following decades of corporate strategy promoting common householdbleach as essential for peoples'health and happiness, a use for bleach was finally discovered in 1986 that actually achieved life-saving proportions for a certain population : injection drugusers in preventing the spread of AIDS. Since then, substantial promotional efforts have surfaced corporate, governmental, and community-based - to downplay or obstruct the public definition of bleach as a major AIDS prevention weapon. An analysis is offered of four competing social constructions of bleach that have emerged since 1986 : bleach as a public health breakthrough ; bleach as a liability ; bleach as an endorsement for drug abuse ; and bleach as a social policy copout.
