Résumé anglais Aids, public health and drug policy : autonomy or dependency ? Brazilian policy on Aids stands as a “ model” whose originality stems from the production of generic drugs for facilitating all patients' access to treatments and therapies. This model, elaborated within state bureaucracies, has been inspired by the “ sanitary” movement which emerged in 1970' s, with an aim at promoting health as a fundamental human right that must be guaranteed by the state. Brazilian policy on Aids has also been highlighted for the transformations it has brought about in the relations between national industry and large multinational pharmaceutical firms. Drawing upon in-depth interviews with various actors who have played strategic roles within Brazilian health system and economic bureaucracy from 1960' s onwards, we will display the multiple interactions between public health policy, war on Aids, and drug policy. We will notably examine the complex configurations within which the issue of autonomy versus dependence of Brazilian pharmaceutical industry has been raised.
