This book was released on 2021-07-16 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These consolidated guidelines on HIV prevention, testing, treatment, service delivery and monitoring bring together existing and new clinical and programmatic recommendations across different ages, populations and settings, bringing together all relevant WHO guidance on HIV produced since 2016. It serves as an update to the previous edition of the consolidated guidelines on HIV. These guidelines continue to be structured along the continuum of HIV care. Information on new combination prevention approaches, HIV testing, ARV regimens and treatment monitoring are included. There is a new chapter on advanced HIV disease that integrates updated guidance on the management of important HIV comorbidities, including cryptococcal disease, histoplasmosis and tuberculosis. The chapter on general HIV care, contains a new section on palliative care and pain management, and up to date information on treatment of several neglected tropical diseases, such as visceral leishmaniasis and Buruli ulcer. New recommendations for screening and treating of cervical pre-cancer lesions in women living with HIV are also addressed in this chapter. Guidance on service delivery was expanded to help the implementation and strengthening the HIV care cascade. Importantly, this guidance emphasizes the need for differentiated approaches to care for people who are established on ART, such as reduced frequency of clinic visits, use of multi-month drug dispensing and implementation of community ART distribution. The adoption of these efficiencies is essential to improve the quality of care of people receiving treatment and reduce the burden on health facilities, particularly in resource limited settings.

This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unprecedented set examines the most prominent factors that harm or support healthy development in children outside the United States, from abuse and economics to social injustice and poor public policy. In International Perspectives on Children and Mental Health, expert contributors from around the world examine the forces affecting the psychological well-being of children in regions worldwide. They consider such factors as family conditions and economic status, including single parents, poverty, disease, war, child abuse, substance abuse in the home, and a loss of community stability. And they look at political, religious, national, and global matters, including racism and class inequality. Since education is key to children's success, the essays consider these factors largely in the context of how they affect educational readiness and academic adjustment. Volume 1 of the set considers development and context, while volume 2 focuses on prevention and treatment. Specific examples enable readers to better understand the often-horrific challenges to child development and mental health across nations. But the work is not limited to exploring problems. It also looks at various programs and actions that mitigate risks, helping children to be mentally healthy despite the odds.

This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ummah disrupts some of the assumptions of liberal citizenship, specifically the role of the individual and the secular characters of that citizenship. Such disruption is achieved through drawing on pre-colonial memories. Concerning the wider discussion on the global understanding of certain groups within established populations, this book traces how Muslims and non-Muslims in a single international organization help South African women interact with the norms of global partnership. The aim of writing this book is none other than to help readers understand the situation of women of South Africa confronting AIDS disease during the COVID-19 crisis. COVID-19 crises have caused clinical and deadly diseases in humans that extended to more groups of people around the world including women. This book provided satisfactory information regarding the role of the international front line in protecting and empowering women in South Africa particularly. This book specifically highlighted the role of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in dealing with HIV/AIDS in South Africa. South Africa is a country with a very high number of HIV in the world. HIV/AIDS is a disease that ranks number one in South Africa and number four globally. The high rate of HIV in South Africa is caused by modernization, a lack of public understanding of the dangers of HIV, and gender inequality. An international organization has taken responsible steps for the problem of HIV/AIDS in this country. UNAIDS is seen as a bearer of light for people in the world, especially for South African countries after providing aid programs in collaboration with other international organizations.

This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Godwin C. Osakwe draws on his academic knowledge and painstaking research to determine if there’s a link between knowledge and transmission of HIV/AIDS among youths in this important study. The author, who holds a doctorate degree in public health and a business management degree, shares broad information and engages in a comprehensive review of the origin of the disease. Focusing on Nigeria, he examines a multitude of factors that may play a role in the transmission of HIV, such as adolescent health care, demographics, social factors, and more. The goal of the study is to lessen HIV transmission by increasing knowledge about the disease. Governmental and nongovernmental organizations can use its findings to influence childhood health-care improvements and advance education to help reduce or eradicate HIV/AIDS transmission. With adolescents making up 23 percent of Nigeria’s population—and given this group is likely to engage in risky behavior—there’s never been a more critical time to strive to prevent the transmission of this devastating and, still, deadly virus.
