Book excerpt: These experiences, as well as BC's own successes, enable us to better focus our discussion and efforts within the HIV/AIDS sector to ensure the maximum effect in reducing the rate of new infections, improving treatment and services and ensuring a co- ordinated and collaborative approach among the many stakeholders involved in managing the HIV/AIDS epidemic. [...] We recognize there will be challenges associated with the goals and targets outlined in the provincial strategy, and my officials are ready and willing to work with you to ensure continued progress in the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and improvements in the health and well-being of British Columbians affected by this terrible disease. [...] Efforts to manage the epidemic in the Aboriginal community, for example, will have to accommodate, first, the movement of people between reserve and urban communities, and, second, the relationship between the First Nations and the Government of Canada. [...] This approach envisions the integration of the management of HIV and hepatitis C and enhanced contributions to the international effort to prevent HIV/AIDS in the developing world. [...] The period of productive life for those people living with HIV/AIDS and receiving HAART treatment has increased by 15 percent, and the savings in indirect costs covers the increased costs of treatment.18 For many people living with HIV/AIDS, the advent of HAART has resulted in tremendous improvements in their ability to manage the disease.

Download or read book Reaching Key Populations written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most countries HIV is a disease that discriminates, disproportionately affecting society's most vulnerable. Even in generalized epidemics in which a significant share of the wider population is living with HIV/AIDS, people in vulnerable communities often have considerably higher rates of HIV infection. Despite the urgent need for scaled-up HIV prevention services for populations at highest risk and the availability of an expanding variety of prevention strategies, the world has largely ignored the plight of these individuals. This reality is deeply concerning in part because the lack of attention to HIV prevention among these populations also undermines the overall response to the epidemic. Reaching vulnerable populations with effective HIV prevention and treatment is critical to bringing the AIDS epidemic under control.

Book Synopsis HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction by : Alan Whiteside OBE
Download or read book HIV/AIDS: A Very Short Introduction written by Alan Whiteside OBE and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-01-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS is without doubt the worst epidemic to hit humankind since the Black Death. The first case was identified in 1981; by 2004 it was estimated that about 40 million people were living with the disease, and about 20 million had died. Despite rapid scientific advances there is still no cure and the drugs are expensive and toxic. Because of controversies and taboos surrounding safe drug usage and prostitution, the numbers of people infected continues to rise. However, it is in the developing world and especially parts of Africa that the real catastrophe is unfolding. In some of the worst affected countries life expectancy has plummeted to below 35 years, which has led to a serious decline in economic growth, a sharp rise in orphaning, and the imminent collapse of health care systems. The news is not all bleak though. There have been unprecedented breakthroughs in understanding diseases and developing drugs. Because the disease is so closely linked to sexual activity and drug use, the need to understand and change behaviour has caused us to reassess what it means to be human and how we should operate in the globalising world. This Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to the disease, tackling the science, the international and local politics, the fascinating demographics, and the devastating consequences of the disease, and explores how we have — and must — respond. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthroughs in biomedicine often lead to new life-giving treatments but may also raise troubling, even life-and-death, quandaries. Society's Choices discusses ways for people to handle today's bioethics issues in the context of America's unique history and cultureâ€"and from the perspectives of various interest groups.

Book Synopsis HIV and the Blood Supply by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book HIV and the Blood Supply written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-10-05 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of the AIDS epidemic, thousands of Americans became infected with HIV through the nation's blood supply. Because little reliable information existed at the time AIDS first began showing up in hemophiliacs and in others who had received transfusions, experts disagreed about whether blood and blood products could transmit the disease. During this period of great uncertainty, decision-making regarding the blood supply became increasingly difficult and fraught with risk. This volume provides a balanced inquiry into the blood safety controversy, which involves private sexual practices, personal tragedy for the victims of HIV/AIDS, and public confidence in America's blood services system. The book focuses on critical decisions as information about the danger to the blood supply emerged. The committee draws conclusions about what was doneâ€"and recommends what should be done to produce better outcomes in the face of future threats to blood safety. The committee frames its analysis around four critical area: Product treatmentâ€"Could effective methods for inactivating HIV in blood have been introduced sooner? Donor screening and referralâ€"including a review of screening to exlude high-risk individuals. Regulations and recall of contaminated bloodâ€"analyzing decisions by federal agencies and the private sector. Risk communicationâ€"examining whether infections could have been averted by better communication of the risks.
