The Wisdom Of Whores by Elizabeth Pisani
Bureaucrats, Brothels and the Business of AIDS
A blunt, engaging memoir and investigative account by an epidemiologist who travels the world examining HIV and public-health efforts, combining sharp anecdotes with analysis to argue for pragmatic, evidence-based prevention over moralizing or politically driven programs; it highlights how stigma, corruption, and ideological agendas often undermine measures like condom distribution, needle exchange, and outreach to sex workers, and makes a spirited case for learning from data, local context, and harm-reduction strategies to save lives.
