Download or read book Children and HIV/AIDS written by Gary Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1982, the Centers for Disease Control received the first reports of cases of children with HIV/AIDS. Since that time, the child welfare system, as well as other human service organizations, have been coping with and responding to the crises of children and families living with HIV/AIDS, including the considerable number of children affected by AIDS through the illness of their parents, siblings, or other family members. This volume is intended as a resource for personnel within the child welfare field serving children and families whose lives are touched by HIV and AIDS. The contributors add insight to and fuel the discussion of the fight against AIDS. They provide tools to help better serve the children and adolescents that the current epidemic so tragically affects. Chapters and contributors include: "Factors Associated with Parents' Decision to Disclose Their HIV Diagnosis to Their Children" by Lori S. Wiener, Haven B. Battles, and Nancy E. Heilman; "Custody Planning with HIV-Affected Families" by Sally Mason; "Correlates and Distribution of HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Youths in New York City" by Michael C. Clatts, W. Rees Davis, J. L. Sotheran, and Aylin Attillasoy; and "HIV Prevention for Youths in Independent Living Programs" by Wendy F. Auslander, Vered Slonim-Nevo, Diane Elze, and Michael Sherraden. Originally published as a special issue of 'Child Welfare', this volume examines lessons learned from a variety of perspectives and settings, and identifies a number of continuing challenges facing the field. 'Children and HIV/AIDS' is an invaluable compendium that should be read by social workers and health specialists and all those affected by the epidemic.
Book Synopsis Projecting the Future of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Tijuana, Mexico by : Esmeralda Iñiguez-Stevens

This book was released on 2009 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Referred to as an "Epidemic Without Borders," the escalating HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S./Mexico border region is in urgent need of attention. Although the epidemic is currently concentrated there is potential for it to advance to a generalized level. Recent studies have estimated that 1 in 125 adults aged 15-49 in Tijuana is HIV-infected, with sub-groups most affected being men who have sex with men (MSM), injection drug users (IDUs), and female sex workers (FSWs). Given this there is urgent need to targeted HIV prevention initiatives for these populations. As a result we proposed the following: 1) estimate the total number of men and women aged 15-49 years infected with HIV in 2006; 2) project the new number of HIV infected adults ages 15-49 among non-IDU/FSWs over the next 30 years; 3) evaluate the potential impact of increasing condom use between non-IDU/FSWs and their client on the HIV epidemic curve over a period of 30 years. We calculated HIV prevalence estimates among men and women aged 15-49 in Tijuana, Mexico for 2006, overall and by risk groups (MSM, IDUs, FSWs, pregnant women, low risk men and women). General demographic data such as total population size, gender ratio, and age distribution were obtained from the 2005 Mexican census. To obtain the most updated estimates of HIV prevalence, a review of published literature and available data from community-based studies was conducted. Results of this modeling project allowed us to develop a range of possible estimates for the number of HIV infected individuals, both overall and for each of the at-risk sub-groups. A mathematical model to predict the course of the HIV epidemic over a 30-year period (2006-2036) among FSWs who are not injection drug users (non-IDU/FSWs) was developed. More specifically a deterministic compartmental mathematical model was constructed based on biological (i.e., probability of HIV transmission per sexual act, prevalence of sexually transmitted infections), behavioral (i.e., number of unprotected sexual encounters), and demographic (i.e. population age distribution and population sizes) parameters. Data for the model were derived from community-based studies, literature searches, population census, and communication with Mexican public health officials. A second deterministic compartmentalized model was developed to assess the impact of decreasing unprotected sex among non-IDU/FSWs on the prevalence and incidence of HIV/AIDS. More specifically decreases of 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% and 75% in unprotected sex were modeled. Data on baseline levels of unprotected sex among non-IDU/FSWs was taken from a community-based study. Sensitivity analysis for both deterministic models consisted of developing low- and high-growth scenarios for each of the modeled estimates. The estimated overall prevalence of HIV in Tijuana Mexico among adults ages 15-49, is 0.54% (N = 4,347) (Range: 0.22% (N = 1,750) - 0.86% (N = 6,944). This means that as many as 1 in every 116 male and female adults between the ages of 15-49 could potentially be infected with HIV. However, HIV prevalence is most concentrated among sub-groups of the population such as men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers who are injection drug users (FSW-IDUs), female-IDUs, non-IDU/FSWs and male-IDUs. Results of the deterministic mathematical model show that accumulative HIV incidence will continue to rise over the 30-year modeled period (2006-2036). According to the low- and high-growth scenarios the HIV epidemic will become sustained at approximately 19% by the year 2036. A greater reduction in future HIV prevalence was observed when unprotected sex was decreased by greater than 50% among non-IDU/FSWs. The model also predicted that the greater the reductions in unprotected sex, the lower the level at which the epidemic would become a sustained epidemic.

Download or read book Children and Young People Living with HIV/AIDS written by Pranee Liamputtong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the issues encountered by children and young people who are living with HIV/AIDS. It examines their lived experiences associated with HIV/AIDS, and studies groups of children and youngsters from around the globe. Connecting empirical information with real-life situations, the book brings together results from empirical research that relates to these children and young people. Its chapters can be used as evidence for health care providers to implement socially and culturally appropriate services to assist individuals and groups of children and young people who are living with HIV/AIDS in many societies. Many of these young people are from the most marginalized and vulnerable groups; and many have been orphaned by the death of their HIV-positive parents. Marginalized young people such as refugees, migrants and street children are most at risk due to the use of illicit drugs, their exposure to unprotected sex (in exchange for food, money and protection), and stigma associated with their marginalized lives. The impact that HIV/AIDS has on the opportunities for these young people to be able to lead healthy adult lives is considerable. This book gives a voice to these children and young people and advances our understanding of their lived experiences and needs.

Download or read book The National Household HIV Prevalence and Risk Survey of South African Children written by Heather Brookes and published by HSRC Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Household HIV Prevalence and Risk Survey of South African Children forms part of the Nelson Mandela/HSRC Study of HIV/AIDS: South African National HIV Prevalence, Behavioural Risks and Mass Media Household Survey 2002. This report provides information on HIV prevalence, orphanhood, risk factors for HIV infection and knowledge of HIV/AIDS among South African children. A total of 3 988 children aged 2 to 18 years participated in the survey. Caregivers of 2 138 children 2 to 11 years of of age answered a questionnaire on the child's behalf. A total of 740 children 12 to 14 years of age directly answered a separate questionnaire. An additional 1 110 children and between 15 and 18 years of age answered a youth questionnaire. Of the 3 988 children, 3 294 (82.6 per cent) provided a saliva specimen for HIV testing. The results show HIV prevalence among children 2 to 18 years of age to be 5.4 per cent. Prevalence was nearly constant across age groups and did not vary significantly. There were insufficient numbers to compare prevalence across race groups. The prevalence was higher than expected. Further studies are necessary to verify this finding.

Book Synopsis A Generation at Risk by : John Williamson
Download or read book A Generation at Risk written by John Williamson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Desmond Tutu, Generation at Risk brings insightful perspectives from experienced practitioners and researchers on how a better future can be secured for the millions of children who are being orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. The current situation of these children is grim, and while there has been significant action by governments, international organizations, religious bodies, and non-governmental organizations, the vast majority of children made vulnerable by AIDS have not benefited from any assistance beyond their own extended family and community. A Generation at Risk explains in straightforward terms what is required to fill this gap. The book addresses what needs to be done in the areas of education, community mobilization and capacity building, economic strengthening at household and community levels, psychosocial support, and the protection of children and the fulfilment of their rights.

Book excerpt: While every sexually active teenager is at risk for contracting the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), some have been found to be at higher risk because of behavioral, socioeconomic, or environmental factors. These youth include: runaway and homeless youth, detained or incarcerated teens, alcohol- and other drug-using youth and their sexual partners, out-of-school youth, adolescents in rural communities, gay youth, immigrant youth, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and African-American and Hispanic youth. A analysis of successful prevention programs yielded 11 program components that should be part of effective HIV/AIDS programs. The two most widely applicable are intensive, individualized attention and community-wide, multi-agency approaches; others include early identification and intervention, social skills training, and parental involvement. Six major considerations for prevention programs are: (1) no single program component can alter the outcomes for all children at risk; (2) high-risk behaviors are interrelated and prevention programs should have holistic goals; (3) a package of services is required within each community; (4) interventions should be aimed at changing institutions; (5) early intervention is crucial; and (6) one-shot programs have no effect. Three model HIV/AIDS prevention programs for high risk young people are highlighted and six policy recommendations for establishing effective programs are offered. (Contains 36 references.) (ND)
