This research project looks at the impact of HIV/AIDS in the construction of hegemonic and marginal masculinities in Egypt, since the 2011 revolution. I argue that the government of Abdelfattah al-Sisi instrumentalized this intersection between health and gender to enhance his military regime against a “deviant” group of sexualities, bodies and moralities. Thus, the hegemonic masculinity, as understood in the gender hierarchy theory, is limited to the heterosexual, healthy and morally appropriate men. On the contrary, the marginal masculinity encompasses those men who, due to HIV/AIDS, are perceived as a failure, unable to perform roles of strength and that practice sexually deviant behaviours (sexual intecourse outside marriage, men who have sex with men and use of injected drugs). I bring into conversation Gender studies with International Relations, Anthropology and Sociology to produce a research on intersectionality and masculinities in Egypt. Notions of gender hierarchy that structure my analysis are indebted to R.W. Connell’s work. They interact with the notion of “human-security state”, named by Paul Amar, as well as Farha Ghannam’s “masculine trajectories”, when referring to the structure and the agency of masculinity. Robert Morrell and Sandra Swart’s argument on hyperheterosexuality surrounding HIV/AIDS to show the problematics behind attributing its affliction to MSM, instead of looking at injected drug users, to problematize the elements encompassing the hegemonic masculinity. I extend my study from the revolution that toppled Mubarak in 2011 until the current government of Abdelfattah al-Sisi. I follow Connell’s revision of her own theory to look at the configuration of masculinity through three levels of analysis —local, regional and international. I compare the country's legislation targeting queer subjects, the national HIV/AIDS programmes that have been implemented along with UNAIDS, and local NGOs reports on the subject. I have special interest on Caritas, due to its pioneer work on MSM living with HIV/AIDS, without excluding significant cases from the local, national and international scenarios.
