Highlights
There is an understandable tension between medical researchers and social scientists when it comes to AIDS-related research at clinic level
Given that the medical practitioner/researchers effectively control the clinics, the temptation to deny social scientists access to patients must be strong. This was the case with regard to two Cape Town clinics that prevented a clinical psychologist from conducting social science research
Understandable, such unaccountable exercise of power denies patients the opportunity to participate in other research projects that may be of benefit to them in ways that HIV clinicians do not necessarily appreciate
Summary
There is an understandable tension between medical researchers and social scientists when it comes to AIDS-related research at clinic level. Given that the medical practitioner/researchers effectively control the clinics, the temptation to deny social scientists access to patients must be strong.
