Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research which this thesis reports and represents sought to explore, 'The experiences of students Living With or Affected by HIV/AIDS in Trinidad and Tobago". The focus is on the perceptions and experiences of thirteen primary and secondary school students. some of whom were in residential care whilst the others lived with relatives. These perceptions and experiences are also considered in the context of the views of care givers and key informants involved in HIVi AIDS education in Trinidad and Tobago. The primary questions the research addressed were: What had happened to the young people up to the time of the research'? What were their stories with relation to the ways in which HIV/AIDS had impacted their lives? How had they experienced schools and schooling as HIV/AIDS affected students? What were their experiences with regard to the health sector? and, What were their hopes and dreams for the future? The research took a qualitative. auto/biographical approach using interviews and participant observation as the key methods of data collection and narrative/storying and grounded theory as the form of representation and analysis. My own voice both as researcher and as an education professional concerned with young people is acknowledged throughout. My aim has been to present lived experiences - to give voice - and to explore how HIV/AIDS impacted on different aspects of the students' lives, on their health, education. human rights, personal social development, family dynamics and support systems. XI This thesis is an attempt to counter the silence which surrounds students living with or affected by HIV:AIDS as it explores what can be learnt from the perspectives of those students and their care-givers about the cultural significance of the disease, its capacity to alter how we know ourselves and what we can do in the midst of epidemic. Topics addressed within the thesis include: HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean generally and in Trinidad and Tobago specifically; the Medical Disease - transmission. treatment, responses, advocacy; Human Rights: the Social Disease; Local responses of Ministries of Education and Health, The Churches and The NACC; Regional responses - C ARICOM, CAREC, PANCAP; and global response through UNESCO's Commonwealth Chair.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are an estimated 42 million people worldwide living with HIV and AIDS. In the Caribbean, the statistics are alarming. After sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean has a higher HIV prevalence than any other area of the world. The need to control the spread of HIV is critical. Though medical advances have been successful in slowing the progress of the disease, there remains no cure for HIV and AIDS. In Challenging HIV and AIDS, the contributors, players at various levels in the education sector across the Caribbean, weigh in on the value of education as a means to halt the spread of HIV and AIDS. The contributions are unique to the Caribbean experience and culture and address the root causes of the spread of the epidemic. Reducing ignorance and the accompanying stigma and discrimination as well as addressing issues of sexuality through Health and Family Life Education in schools are identified as effective programs in addressing the epidemic.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa is reported to have the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS infections in Sub-Saharan Africa. As a result the quality of life of families living with HIV/AIDS is negatively affected. Literature indicates that the majority of affected persons are young children and adolescents whose siblings or parents are infected with HIV/AIDS. Most affected adolescents are reported to have difficult social lives due to their parents illness, difficult financial situations at home, stigma and discrimination within the society. The study attempts to explore the experiences of adolescents in households where the mother is HIV/AIDS positive. This research project is an exploratory study using a narrative approach within a qualitative methodological design. The study was conducted with 6 Xhosa-speaking adolescent boys (2) and girls (4) aged 12 to 15 years. An open-ended interview schedule was used to prompt participants to tell their stories. Data was collected by means of a voice recorder in order for adolescents to tell their stories. The responses were transcribed verbatim, translated and verified with the participants. The data were analysed by means of narrative analysis. The results indicate that most adolescent participants were coping with the mother being HIV/AIDS positive and maintained hope for their futures. Adolescents were coping due to support from friends and relatives. Some adolescents experienced rejection and discrimination. The biggest challenge in the home was due to socioeconomic status. The study is intended to benefit the community in terms of making recommendations to social workers at NGOs and the government sectors in terms of strengthening the existing support programmes in the community.

And one observation continues to gain credence: families are a powerful resource in preventing, adapting to, and coping with HIV. Recognizing their complex role as educators, mentors, and caregivers, Family and HIV/AIDS assembles a wealth of findings from successful prevention and intervention strategies and provides models for translating evidence into effective real-world practice. Chapters spotlight the differing roles of mothers and fathers in prevention efforts, clarify the need for family/community collaborations, and examine core issues of culture,ethnicity, gender, and diagnosis (e.g., minority families, adolescents with psychological disorders). Throughout, risk reduction and health promotion are shown as a viable public health strategy A reference with considerable utility across the health, mental health, and related disciplines,Family and HIV/AIDS will be a go-to resource for practitioners working with families, researchers studying at-risk populations, administrators seeking to create new (or evaluate existing)prevention and care programs, and policymakers involved in funding such programs.
