Abstract
HIV/AIDS emerged at a time when the nature of society was being redrawn into a broader neo-liberal political rationality, and fundamental questions about 'who is responsible for individual health' were being asked. As such, HIV/AIDS emerged within a paradigm of responsibility. This dissertation is concerned with how a broad range of neo-liberal values (including 'risk', being responsible, self-reliant, and contributing to society) impact the lives of people living with HIV (PHAs). The data for this dissertation were drawn from a larger study of PHAs in the Hamilton, Ontario region. The narratives of nineteen PHAs were used and were analyzed using Foucault's 'governmentality' theory. Utilizing the concept of 'moral work'---a general life comportment characterized by a cluster of ways of thinking, behaving and acting---this dissertation shows that the ways in which PHAs 'carry out of their lives' is intimately linked to the neo-liberal principles of individual responsibility and self-reliance. The concept of 'moral work' is used to describe the everyday health-related activities engaged in by PHAs, including being vigilant about all aspects of their health, listening to experts, and modifying their lifestyles. Then, the concept of moral work is used to describe the everyday life-related activities of PHAs, including taking responsibility for their HIV infection, protecting others from the burden of their disease, and making contributions to society. Finally, the concept of moral work is applied to the work that is done on the 'self' to be a responsible and good PHA. The implications of this moral work for subjectivity are considered.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
