Abstract

The Chinese Center for Disease Control employs Community-Based Organizations (CBO) to conduct mass testing on "hidden" Men who have Sex with Men (MSM). Testing MSMs is intended to make risky bodies legible to the state and discipline the CBOs around narrow health goals. However, detailed ethnographic fieldwork with MSM CBOs in southwest China demonstrates that pressures to achieve HIV testing quotas produce the need to "water-down" or manipulate data. This distorts the identities and practices of MSMs from state surveillance and builds collusive partnerships between CBOs and low-level government officials to mitigate the disciplinary impacts of strict audits.

“淡化”对中国男性性行为社区组织严格的艾滋病毒检测配额。

中国疾病控制中心聘请社区组织（CBO）对“隐性”男男性行为者（MSM）进行大规模检测。测试MSM旨在让州政府清楚地了解有风险的机构，并围绕狭隘的健康目标约束CBO。然而，对中国西南地区男男性行为者社区组织的详细民族志实地调查表明，实现艾滋病毒检测配额的压力产生了“淡化”或操纵数据的必要性。这从国家监督中扭曲了MSM的身份和做法，并在国会预算办公室和低级别政府官员之间建立了共谋伙伴关系，以减轻严格审计的纪律影响。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
