Book Synopsis Reducing the Odds by : National Research Council
Download or read book Reducing the Odds written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of HIV-positive women give birth every year. Further, because many pregnant women are not tested for HIV and therefore do not receive treatment, the number of children born with HIV is still unacceptably high. What can we do to eliminate this tragic and costly inheritance? In response to a congressional request, this book evaluates the extent to which state efforts have been effective in reducing the perinatal transmission of HIV. The committee recommends that testing HIV be a routine part of prenatal care, and that health care providers notify women that HIV testing is part of the usual array of prenatal tests and that they have an opportunity to refuse the HIV test. This approach could help both reduce the number of pediatric AIDS cases and improve treatment for mothers with AIDS. Reducing the Odds will be of special interest to federal, state, and local health policymakers, prenatal care providers, maternal and child health specialists, public health practitioners, and advocates for HIV/AIDS patients.

Download or read book A National Strategy for the Elimination of Hepatitis B and C written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatitis B and C cause most cases of hepatitis in the United States and the world. The two diseases account for about a million deaths a year and 78 percent of world's hepatocellular carcinoma and more than half of all fatal cirrhosis. In 2013 viral hepatitis, of which hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the most common types, surpassed HIV and AIDS to become the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. The world now has the tools to prevent hepatitis B and cure hepatitis C. Perfect vaccination could eradicate HBV, but it would take two generations at least. In the meantime, there is no cure for the millions of people already infected. Conversely, there is no vaccine for HCV, but new direct-acting antivirals can cure 95 percent of chronic infections, though these drugs are unlikely to reach all chronically-infected people anytime soon. This report, the second of two, builds off the conclusions of the first report and outlines a strategy for hepatitis reduction over time and specific actions to achieve them.

Book Synopsis AIDS Pandemic - The Untold Story by : Dorothy Keville
Download or read book AIDS Pandemic - The Untold Story written by Dorothy Keville and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dorothy writes her book at a critical time. COVID-19 and AIDS are different viruses - but pandemics lay bare the inequities and problems in our social order and the programs we create to solve problems." -Tom Sheridan, Author of Helping the Good Do Better In the mid-1990's, HIV/AIDS was a new and unknown disease requiring a revolution in attitude, approach, and funding. Dorothy Keville helped facilitate the first Federally funded program for HIV/AIDS drugs by bringing together an unlikely alliance of angry activists, conservative politicians and unwilling drug manufacturers. Their work evolved into the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Working Group, an initiative which provided medicine and care for HIV positive people in all U.S. States and Territories. In Part One, we meet many of the former ADAP managers and directors who share their own experiences and efforts of working tirelessly to get the pandemic under control when there was no manual and no procedures to follow. HIV/AIDS was different from any other national health crisis to that point and these are the stories of some of the unsung heroes. In Part Two, Dorothy shares the pieces of her own experience, from early volunteer work through to positions with federal agencies and multinational corporations, and even acting. Her memories reveal a life of compassion, dedicated to those with HIV, to the homeless, and to many others. As an added bonus, the book features a practical guide on the Nuts & Bolts of Government for those interested in getting involved in the political process at the local, state, and national levels. Note: A portion from the sale of this book will be donated to Africa Bridge, the non-profit Dorothy founded dedicated to the care of children whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS.

Book Synopsis Queer Twin Cities by : Twin Cities GLBT Oral History Project (Minn.)
Download or read book Queer Twin Cities written by Twin Cities GLBT Oral History Project (Minn.) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twin Cities is home to one of the largest and most vital GLBT populations in the nation--and one of the highest percentages of gay residents in the country. Drawn from the pioneering work of the Twin Cities GLBT Oral History Project--a collective organization of students, scholars, and activists devoted to documenting and interpreting the lives of GLBT people in Minneapolis and St. Paul--"Queer Twin Cities" is a uniquely critical collection of essays on Minnesota's vibrant queer communities, past and present. A rich blend of oral history, archival research, and ethnography, "Queer Twin Cities" uses sexuality to chart connections between people's lives in Minnesota. Topics range from turn-of-the-century Minneapolis amid moral reform--including the highly publicized William Williams murder trial and efforts to police Bridge Square, aka 'skid row'--to northern Minnesota and the importance of male companionship among lumber workers, and to postwar life, when the increased visibility of queer life went hand in hand with increased regulation, repression, and violence. Other essays present a portrait of early queer spaces in the Twin Cities, such as Kirmser's Bar, the Viking Room, and the Persian Palms, and the proliferation of establishments like the Dugout and the 19 Bar. Exploring the activism of GLBT Two-Spirit indigenous people, the antipornography movements of the 1980s, and the role of gay men in the gentrification of Minneapolis neighborhoods, this volume brings the history of queer life and politics in the Twin Cities into fascinating focus. Engaging and revelatory, "Queer Twin Cities" offers a critical analysis of local history and community and fills a glaring omission in the culture and history of Minnesota, looking not only to a remarkable past but to our collective future.
