<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Over the last decades, there has been a worldwide rise of new technologies for controlling the HIV epidemic by expanding antiretroviral medicines. This article examines how the pharmaceutical-driven model of public health, which emerged as a byproduct of antiretroviral treatment (ART) scale-up in Ethiopia, interplayed with local forms of actions, engagements, and voices through which suffering inflicted by the epidemic was cared for. Through the eyes of an Ethiopian woman with HIV, this article illustrates how the increasing emphasis on ART facilitated the defunding of some community-based care practices. Moreover, it rendered the realities of precarious life with HIV invisible in the landscape of therapeutic citizenship. However, for Ethiopians, ART scale-up unfolded amid multiple forms of HIV care practices and relationships that endured stigma, alienation, and uncertainty before and after ART. The experience of surviving the HIV epidemic in Ethiopia provides a vital premise upon which claims of meaningful care are made, and ways to otherwise develop healthcare actions and engagements are sought.</jats:p>
