This paper explores the relationship(s) between global governance, sex, and HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), as embodied in the practices of such governance organisations as the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). ‘Neoliberal’ in their commitment to centralising the Western ‘free’ market and private capital in developing countries, these organisations trade in their success at instigating ‘effective’ (that is, profitable) policy-making. For governance organisations, and the ‘developing’ countries with which they work, HIV/AIDS is a subject to be taken very seriously, not only since the premature death of any adult population is a cause for concern, but also because HIV/AIDS is believed to impact particularly devastatingly on society’s otherwise most economically productive participants. My focus on HIV/AIDS policy (in SSA because it is a region considered especially blighted) is, however, less focused on conventional accounts of ‘obstacles’ to economic development as measurable through gross domestic product (GDP). My concern is, rather, with the ways in which governance organisations’ various approaches to HIV/AIDS in SSA provide examples of the ways in which global governance policymaking regulate and reproduce ‘appropriate’ human bodies through assumptions about who a person is and, therefore, what that person does (or is able to do).
