We illustrate the lively existence of the notion of success in the unfolding of a PrEP project led by a sex worker organization in India. In what we call the "search for success," particular attention is placed on the role that care plays among sex workers guiding the project. Drawing on our ethnographic work, we highlight how the search for success underlines particular affective dispositions that are underscored by overlapping temporal registers: in the early stages of fostering adherence; when project fatigue sets in; and as the project draws to a close, in the anticipation of what comes next for the organization.
