摘　　要：以风险行为定义的艾滋病高危人群概念在引入中国后发生了质变,最明显的例证是原本不属于高危人群的长途卡车司机竟也被纳入哨点监测系统,这本身是一个错误假设引发的错误判断。作为当代医学社会学关键性概念之一,"生物权力"系指政府机构利用法规和行政手段在公共健康问题上对普通公民的管理、控制、支配以及规训,它会以维护公众利益为理由侵入到私人生活最隐秘的空间。鉴于中国的长卡司机在严格意义上不属于高危人群,要求这一人群在常规体检期间接受艾滋病监测的做法涉及到公共权力与个人权利的紧张问题,同时凸显着医学知识的建构和卫生机构的政策倡导对生物权力的左右。This article utilizes the concept of biopower to examine the inclusion of long - distance truck drivers into China＇ s HIV surveillance system. As a concept often employed in social sciences, biopower refers to the use of legal codes and administrative measures by government agencies to regulate, control, dictate, and discipline ordinary citizens over matters of public health. In the name of protecting public health, this kind of power could invade the most private domain of people＇ s lives. Given that truck drivers can hardly be considered as a high - risk group in China＇ s HIV epidemic, the practice of the country＇ s disease surveillance administration to test HIV among truck drivers during their regular physical examinations is an infringement of citizen rights as well as a demonstration of how powerfully the consolidation of medical knowledge with policy advocacy by health agencies influences the functioning of the Chinese government＇ s biopower.
