ICASA 2011 kicks off in a Colorful Ceremony
Heads of State and Government, former presidents, first ladies, members of parliaments, ministers, high level representatives of UN agencies, donors, members of the diplomatic corps, renowned scientists, NGOs, PLHIV, and civil society gathered today at the Millennium Hall in Addis Ababa for the opening ceremony of the 16th International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA 2011). The five-day conference under the theme ‘Own, Scale-up and Sustain’ is expected to actively engage participants through high-level plenary sessions, satellite sessions, skill building sessions, poster exhibition and various side events.

In welcoming the participants, Dr. Yigermu Abebe, President of ICASA 2011 said, “Welcome to the 16th ICASA, which has been organized by the Government of Ethiopia in conjunction with the Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA), various institutional and community partners as well as the private sector.”

ICASA 2011 takes place at a pivotal time - thirty years since the first case of AIDS was detected; ten years since the landmark UN General Assembly Special Session on AIDS, where world leaders declared AIDS as a “global emergency” and called for an “urgent, coordinated and sustained response” to the epidemic; and ten years since the Abuja Declaration on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and other Infectious Diseases.

President of the Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA), Professor Robert Soudre said, “Once again the forefront stakeholders in the response to HIV and AIDS in Africa are meeting in Addis Ababa to address our common enemy - the HIV epidemic and related diseases”.

The Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA) Council has selected Ethiopia to host the 16th ICASA, based on interest expressed by the Ethiopian Government to host the Conference, as well as meeting a set of criteria including adequate logistics, security, communications, accommodation and conference venue. Ethiopia officially accepted the offer during a signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding between the SAA and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, represented by the Federal Ministry of Health in July 2009 in Lagos, Nigeria.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the AIDS response in sub-Saharan Africa. The total number of new HIV infections in the region has declined by more than 26%, from 2.6 million [2.4 million-2.8 million] to 1.9 million [1.7 million-2.1 million] since the peak of the epidemic in 1997.

Confirming this, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé said, “Over the past decade, Africa has made remarkable progress in its HIV response”.

Never the less, Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region most heavily affected by HIV. In 2010, an estimated 68% of all people living with HIV resided in sub-Saharan Africa, a region with only 12% of the global population.

“With strengthened political will and increased resources, I am confident that countries across the continent will reach our common goal of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths,” Dr. Sidibé added.

In his key note address on behalf of the people and Government of Ethiopia at the official opening, H.E. Meles Zenawi, Ethiopian Prime Minister, said, “It is my distinct pleasure to welcome all delegates to Addis Ababa and the 16th International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA 2011). We are honored to be hosting this major international gathering at this critical juncture in the countdown to the 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Three decades following the discovery of AIDS, ICASA 2011 provides an important opportunity to take stock of the significant progress made as well as the challenges we still face in reversing the epidemic in countries across our continent”.

“This year’s theme is a particularly fitting one at this critical time. Against the backdrop of growing global economic uncertainty, it is vital that African countries develop innovative and sustainable strategies for mobilizing new resources—human, intellectual, and material — with a view to fortifying and sustaining our response to the epidemic over the coming years. Indeed, the challenge now is for Africa to Own, Scale-up and Sustain the fight and build on the successes of the past to finally turn the tide of the epidemic through greater containment and significantly lower new infections,” the prime minister noted.

A decade ago, HIV prevalence among the 15 to 24 age group in Ethiopia was 12.4%. Today, this figure has stabilized at 2.4%. In 2005, fewer than 1,000 Ethiopians had access to lifesaving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Today, over 333 thousand Ethiopians, an estimated 66%, of those in need are receiving ART.

Dr. Yigeremu Abebe, President of ICASA 2011, highlighted the significance of the conference for Africa and Ethiopia. “This year’s ICASA promises to be unique in that awards will be given to the best abstracts presented by young investigators below the age of 35. This recognition aims to encourage scientific research in Africa, which is currently facing challenges,” he said.Early in the day The ICASA community village was also open. The community village is a melting pot of all cultures to informally exchange ideas and ways forward not only in the HIV and AIDS response, but also other socioeconomic issues.

At the official opening, H.E Ato Kuma Demekisa expressed his warm welcome to the delegates and wished a successful deliberation over the conference period. Similarly, the former president of USA – Mr. George Bush Jr. addressed the gathering.

Mr. Bush was also recognized with an award for his support in the HIV and AIDS response. On the occasion H.E Dr. Tedros Adhanom, Ethiopian Minister of Health, expressed his gratitude to Mr. Bush. This was followed by President Bush receiving his award from H.E Ato Meles Zenawi, the Ethiopian Prime Minister.

STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION AS A BARRIER IN COMPACTING HIV/AIDS

Because HIV/AIDS is associated with behaviors that may be considered socially unacceptable by many people, HIV infection is widely stigmatized. People living with the virus are frequently subject to discrimination and human rights abuses: many have been thrown out of jobs and homes, rejected by family and friends, and some have even been killed. Together, stigma and discrimination constitute one of the greatest barriers in dealing effectively with the epidemic. They discourage governments from acknowledging or taking timely action against AIDS. They deter individuals from finding out about their HIV status. And they inhibit those who know they are infected from sharing their diagnosis and taking action to protect others and from seeking treatment and care for themselves. Experience teaches that a strong Network of people living with HIV/AIDS that affords mutual support and a voice at local and national levels is particularly effective in tackling stigma. There is a need to have a special budget from Federal Government for Network of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria both at the National, State and local government level Moreover, the presence of treatment makes this task easier too: where there is hope, people are less afraid of AIDS; they are more willing to be tested for HIV, to disclose their status, and to seek care if necessary. Let us think about bringing treatment to the grass root, let us think of upgrading the health facilities located at the rural area.

Le STIGMATE ET LA DISCRIMINATION COMME BARRIÈRE EN RENDANT HIV/SIDA

puisque le HIV/SIDA est associé aux comportements qui peuvent être considérés socialement inacceptables par beaucoup de gens, infection par le HIV compact est largement stigmatisé. Les gens vivant avec le virus sont sujets fréquemment à des abus de discrimination et de droits de l'homme : beaucoup ont été jetés hors des travaux et des maisons, rejetées par la famille et les amis, et certains ont été même tués. Ensemble, le stigmate et la discrimination constituent une des plus grandes barrières en traitant efficacement l'épidémie. Ils découragent des gouvernements de reconnaître ou de prendre une mesure opportune contre le SIDA. Ils découragent des individus de découvrir au sujet de leur statut d'HIV. Et ils empêchent ceux qui savent qu'elles sont infectées de partager leur diagnostic et d'agir pour protéger d'autres et du traitement et du soin cherchants pour elles-mêmes. L'expérience enseigne qu'un réseau fort des personnes vivant avec le HIV/SIDA qui a les moyens l'appui mutuel et une voix aux niveaux locaux et nationaux est particulièrement efficace en abordant le stigmate. Il y a un besoin d'avoir un budget spécial de gouvernement fédéral pour le réseau des personnes vivant avec HIV/SIDA au Nigéria tous les deux au national, état et le niveau de gouvernement local d'ailleurs, la présence des marques de traitement ceci chargent plus facile trop : là où il y a espoir, les gens ont moins peur du SIDA ; ils sont plus disposés à être examinés pour HIV, pour révéler leur statut, et pour chercher le soin au besoin. Pensons à apporter le traitement à la racine d'herbe, laissez-nous pensent à améliorer les équipements de santé situés au secteur rural.

El ESTIGMA Y LA DISCRIMINACIÓN COMO BARRERA EN LA CONDENSACIÓN DE HIV/AIDS

porque HIV/AIDS se asocia a los comportamientos que se pueden considerar social inaceptables por mucha gente, infección del VIH es stigmatized extensamente. La gente que vive con el virus está con frecuencia conforme a abusos de la discriminación y de los derechos humanos: muchos se han lanzado de trabajos y los hogares, rechazados por la familia y los amigos, y algunos incluso se han matado. Junto, el estigma y la discriminación constituyen una de las barreras más grandes de ocuparse con eficacia de la epidemia. Desalientan gobiernos de reconocer o de tomar la acción oportuna contra SIDA. Disuaden a individuos descubrir sobre su estado del VIH. E inhiben a los que sepan que los infectan de compartir su diagnosis y de tomar la acción para proteger otras y del tratamiento y del cuidado que buscan para sí mismos. La experiencia enseña que una red fuerte de la gente que vive con HIV/AIDS que produzca la ayuda mutua y una voz en los niveles locales y nacionales es particularmente eficaz en abordar el estigma. Hay una necesidad de tener un presupuesto especial del gobierno federal para la red de la gente que vive con HIV/AIDS en Nigeria ambos en el nivel del nacional, del estado y del gobierno local por otra parte, la presencia de las marcas del tratamiento esta tarea más fácil también: donde hay esperanza, la gente está menos asustada de SIDA; están más dispuestos a ser probado para el VIH, para divulgar su estado, y para buscar cuidado en caso de necesidad. Pensemos de traer el tratamiento a la raíz de la hierba, déjenos piensan en el aumento de las instalaciones de la salud situadas en el área rural.

LO STIGMA E LA DISTINZIONE COME BARRIERA NEL COMPRIMERE HIV/AIDS

Poiché HIV/AIDS è associato con i comportamenti che possono essere considerati socialmente inaccettabili da molta gente, infezione di HIV è ampiamente stigmatized. La gente che vive con il virus è frequentemente conforme agli abusi di diritti dell'uomo e di distinzione: molti sono stati gettati dai lavori e le sedi, rifiutate dalla famiglia e dagli amici ed alcune persino sono state uccise. Insieme, lo stigma e la distinzione costituiscono una delle barriere più grandi nell'occuparsi efficacemente dell'epidemia. Scoraggiano i governi dal riconoscimento o dall'intraprendere dell'azione attuale contro il AIDS. Trattengono gli individui dallo scoprire circa la loro condizione del HIV. Ed inibiscono coloro che sa che sono infettate dalla compartecipazione della loro diagnosi e dall'agire per proteggere altri e dal trattamento e dalla cura di ricerca per se stesso. L'esperienza insegna che una rete forte della gente che vive con HIV/AIDS che si permette il supporto reciproco e una voce ai livelli locali e nazionali è particolarmente efficace nell'affrontare lo stigma. Ci è una necessità di avere un preventivo speciale dal governo federale per la rete della gente che vive con HIV/AIDS in Nigeria entrambi al cittadino, dichiara ed al livello di ente pubblico territoriale inoltre, la presenza delle marche di trattamento questa operazione più facile ugualmente: dove ci è speranza, la gente è meno impaurita del AIDS; sono più disposti ad essere esaminato a HIV, per rilevare la loro condizione e per cercare la cura se necessario. Pensiamo a portare il trattamento alla radice dell'erba, lascili pensano ad aggiornare le attrezzature sanitarie situate alla zona rurale.

Die Leute, die mit dem Virus leben, sind häufig abhängig von Mißbräuchen der Unterscheidung und der menschlichen Rechte: viele sind aus Jobs heraus geworfen worden und die Häuser, zurückgewiesen von der Familie und von den Freunden und einige sind sogar getötet worden. Zusammen setzen Schande und Unterscheidung eine der größten Sperren fest, wenn sie effektiv die Epidemie beschäftigen. Sie entmutigen Regierungen vom Bestätigen oder vom Ergreifen der fristgerechten Maßnahmen gegen AIDS. Sie halten Einzelpersonen von herausfinden über ihren HIV Status ab. Und sie hemmen die, die wissen, daß sie vom Teilen ihrer Diagnose und vom Ergreifen von Maßnahmen, um andere zu schützen und von suchender Behandlung und von Obacht für selbst angesteckt werden. Erfahrung unterrichtet, daß ein starkes Netz der Leute, die mit HIV/AIDS leben, das gegenseitige Unterstützung und eine Stimme auf den lokalen und nationalen Niveaus sich leistet, besonders wirkungsvoll ist, wenn es Schande anpackt. Es gibt eine Notwendigkeit, einen speziellen Etat von der Bundesregierung für Netz der Leute zu haben außerdem, die mit HIV/AIDS in Nigeria beide auf dem Niveau des Staatsangehörigen, des Zustandes und der lokalen Regierung, das Vorhandensein der Behandlungmarken diese Aufgabe leben, die auch einfacher ist: wo es Hoffnung gibt, haben Leute vor AIDS weniger Angst; sie sind bereiter, auf HIV geprüft zu werden, um ihren Status freizugeben, und Obacht wenn notwendig zu suchen.

STIGMA OCH DISKRIMINERING SOM EN BARRIÄR, I ATT PRESSA SAMMAN HIV/AIDS

, därför att HIV/AIDS är tillhörande med uppföranden som kan vara ansett socialt oacceptabelt av många folk, HIV-infektion, är stigmatized brett. Folket som bor med viruset, är betvingar vanligt till diskriminering- och mänsklig rättighetmissbruk: många har kastats ut ur jobb, och hem som kasseras av familjen och vänner och några har även dödats. Tillsammans utgör stigma och diskriminering en av de mest stora barriärerna, i att handla effektivt med epidemin. De avskräcker regeringar från att bekräfta, eller den tagande handlingen i rätt tid mot BISTÅR. De avskräcker individer från att finna ut om deras HIV-status. Och de förhindrar de som vet att de smittas från att dela deras diagnos och att ta handling att skydda andra och från sökande behandling och att att bry sig för dem. Erfara undervisar att ett starkt knyter kontakt av folk som bor med HIV/AIDS som har råd med ömsesidig service, och en uttrycka på lokalen och medborgare jämnar är bestämt effektiv i grejerstigma. Det finns ett behov att ha en special budget från federal regering för att knyta kontakt av folk som dessutom bor med HIV/AIDS i Nigeria båda på medborgare, statligt och den jämna lokal styrning, närvaroen av behandlingmakes denna lättare uppgift för: var det finns hopp, är folket mindre räddt av BISTÅR; de är mer villig att testas för HIV, för att avslöja deras status och till sökandenomsorg, om nödvändigt.

потому что HIV/AIDS связано с поведениями могут быть рассмотрены социально неприемлемо много людей, инфекцию имуннодефицита широко stigmatized. Люди живя с вирусом част subject to злоупотребления различения и прав человека: много были брошены из работ и дома, излученные семьей и друзьями, и некоторые даже были убиты. Совместно, stigma и различение образовывают один из больших барьеров в общаться эффективно с эпидемией. Они обескураживают правительства от подтверждать или принимать своевременное действие против AIDS. Они deter индивидуалы от находить вне о их состоянии HIV. И они блокируют те знают они заражено от делить их диагноз и принятие мер для того чтобы защитить другие и от изыскивая обработки и внимательности для себя. Опыт учит что сильная сеть людей живя с HIV/AIDS позволяет взаимную поддержку и голос на местных и национальных уровнях определенно эффективна в tackling stigma. Будет потребность иметь специальный бюджетю от федерального правительства для сети людей живя с HIV/AIDS в Нигерии обоими на соотечественнике, положении и местном правительстве ровных сверх того, присутсвие моделей обработки эта задача более легкая слишком: где будет упование, люди более менее испуганн AIDS; они более охотно готовы быть испытанным для HIV, для того чтобы показать их состояние, и изыскать внимательность if necessary.

STIGMA EN het ONDERSCHEID ALS BARRIÈRE IN het SAMENPERSEN van HIV/AIDS

omdat HIV/AIDS met gedrag wordt geassoci�ërd dat sociaal door vele mensen kan als onaanvaardbaar worden beschouwd, worden HIV besmetting wijd gebrandmerkt. De mensen die met het virus leven zijn vaak onderworpen aan onderscheid en rechten van de mensmisbruiken: velen zijn geworpen uit banen en huizen, die door familie en vrienden worden verworpen, en wat zijn zelfs gedood. Samen, vormen stigma en het onderscheid één van de grootste barrières in het behandelen effectief de epidemie. Zij ontmoedigen overheden van het erkennen van of het voeren van geschikte actie tegen AIDS. Zij schrikken individuen van het te weten komen over hun HIV status af. En zij verbieden zij die weten zij van het delen van hun diagnose en het voeren van actie om anderen te beschermen en van het streven van naar behandeling en zorg voor zich besmet zijn. De ervaring onderwijst dat een sterk Netwerk van mensen die met HIV/AIDS leven die zich wederzijdse steun en een stem op lokaal en nationaal niveau veroorlooft in het aanpakken van stigma bijzonder efficiënt is. Er is een behoefte om een speciale begroting van Federale Overheid voor Netwerk van mensen te hebben die met HIV/AIDS in Nigeria zowel op het Nationale, niveau van de Staat als van de lokale regering leven bovendien, maakt de aanwezigheid van behandeling deze taak gemakkelijker ook: waar er hoop is, zijn de mensen minder bang van AIDS; zij zijn meer bereid om voor HIV worden getest, hun status te onthullen, en naar zorg indien nodig te streven. Denk over het brengen van behandeling aan de graswortel, denk aan de bevordering van de gezondheidsfaciliteiten die bij het plattelandsgebied worden gevestigd.

Combating HIV/AIDS Stigma, a Global Challenge

Global AIDS numbers have dropped dramatically, but that is only half the battle won. Stigma towards HIV-positive Person needs to be countered if the threat of AIDS is to be overcome.

An Indian soldier discovers he is HIV-positive and is forced to deal with the termination of his services. An HIV-positive pregnant woman from West Bengal has a sticker plastered on her forehead by hospital staff; she is isolated in the ward and refused the urgent medical attention she needed. A couple is stoned, branded outcast by there community because they are HIV-positive. A HIV-positive woman aborts her own baby because hospital staff refuses to assist her. This intense stigma can be painful to endure.

The good news is that the number of people contracting HIV infection is dropping, worldwide. A few months ago, UNAIDS, releases its AIDS Epidemic Update for 2007, said new data show global HIV prevalence (the percentage of people living with HIV) has leveled off and the number of new infections has fallen, in part as a result of the impact of HIV programme.

Nigeria now ranks second among nations with the largest number of people living with HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Taking the optimistic arithmetic apart, the experiences of ordinary people living with HIV tell another story. Stigma and not surveillance, is the biggest problem.

A 25-year-old boy from Obosi Anambra State commits suicide to escape the stigma piled on, because of improper counseling during testing. Private hospitals and laboratories pose a big challenge in compacting HIV/AIDS related Stigma in the rural area of Nigeria. Not only that some of them do not have up to date equipment in diagnosis, they are lacking information about HIV/AIDS where by causing psychological trauma to any body that passes through them which might result to suicide mission.

Stigma is hard to track and its impact even harder to measure. There is a need to generated data on stigma by including surveys on HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Overall acceptance measured through indicators like willingness to care for a positive person or accept a positive person, even associate with positive person is also needed.


Those vulnerable to and are experiencing social stigma and discrimination will be puzzled if they were told that awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS is higher than before. Awareness is not translating into tolerance or a shedding of stigma.

Protection against HIV and preventing its spread is certainly a key message, but protection using stigma and alienation will go nowhere. It is always challenging to fight for legislation and better policy outcomes. Nigeria is working on a law against discrimination of HIV-positive person. But laws and policies cannot be substitutes for a humane approach.

Stigmate combattant de HIV/SIDA, un défi global

Le stigmate combattant de HIV/SIDA, des nombres globaux

d'un SIDA de défi global se sont laissés tomber nettement, mais c'est seulement moitié de la bataille a gagné. Le stigmate vers la personne HIV-positive doit être paré si la menace du SIDA doit être surmontée.

Un soldat indien découvre qu'il est HIV-positif et est forcé de traiter l'arrêt de ses services. Une femme enceinte HIV-positive du Bengale occidental a un autocollant plâtré sur son front par le personnel d'hôpital ; elle est isolée dans la salle et a refusé l'attention médicale pressante qu'elle a eue besoin. Un couple est lapidé, marqué banni par là la communauté parce qu'ils sont HIV-positifs. Une femme HIV-positive avorte son propre bébé parce que le personnel d'hôpital refuse de l'aider. Il peut être pénible supporter ce stigmate intense.

Les bonnes nouvelles sont que le nombre de personnes contractant l'infection par le HIV Chute, dans le monde entier. Il y a quelques mois, UNAIDS, dégagements sa mise à jour d'épidémie de SIDA pour 2007, HIV global de ladite nouvelle exposition de données que la prédominance (le pourcentage des personnes vivant avec HIV) s'est stabilisé et le nombre de nouvelles infections est tombé, en partie en raison de l'impact du programme d'HIV.

Le Nigéria se range maintenant en second lieu parmi des nations avec le plus grand nombre de personnes vivant avec HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Démontant l'arithmétique optimiste, les expériences des gens du commun vivant avec HIV indiquent une autre histoire. Le stigmate et pas la surveillance, est le plus grand problème.

Un garçon de 25 ans de l'état d'Obosi Anambra commet le suicide pour échapper au stigmate empilé dessus, en raison de la consultation inexacte pendant l'essai. Les hôpitaux et les laboratoires privés posent un grand défi en rendant le stigmate relié par HIV/SIDA dans la région rurale du Nigéria compact. Non seulement que certains d'entre eux n'ont pas l'équipement à jour dans le diagnostic, ils manquent des informations sur le HIV/SIDA où en causant le trauma psychologique à n'importe quel corps qui traverse eux ce qui pourrait résulter à la mission de suicide.

Il est difficile de dépister stigmate et son impact encore plus dur à mesurer. Il y a des données produites du besoin sur le stigmate en incluant des aperçus sur la connaissance, des attitudes et le comportement de HIV/SIDA. L'acceptation globale mesurée par des indicateurs comme la volonté de s'occuper d'une personne positive ou d'accepter une personne positive, même associé avec la personne positive est nécessaire également.


Ceux vulnérables à et éprouvent le stigmate social et la discrimination sera embarassée si on leur disait que la conscience et la connaissance au sujet du HIV/SIDA est plus haute qu'avant. La conscience ne traduit pas en tolérance ou perte de stigmate.

La protection contre HIV et empêcher sa diffusion est certainement un message principal, mais la protection en utilisant le stigmate et l'aliénation ira nulle part. Il est toujours provocant pour combattre pour la législation et les meilleurs résultats de politique. Le Nigéria travaille à une loi contre la discrimination de la personne HIV-positive. Mais les lois et les politiques ne peuvent pas être des produits de remplacement pour une approche humanitaire.

Estigma de HIV/AIDS que combate, un desafío global

El estigma de HIV/AIDS que combatía, los números globales

de un SIDA del desafío global ha caído dramáticamente, pero ésa es solamente mitad de la batalla ganó. El estigma hacia persona VIH-positiva necesita ser contradicho si se va la amenaza del SIDA a ser superada.

Un soldado indio descubre que él es VIH-positivo y que está forzado para ocuparse de la terminación de sus servicios. Una mujer embarazada VIH-positiva de Bengala del oeste tiene una etiqueta engomada enyesada en su frente por el personal del hospital; la aíslan en la sala y rechazó la atención médica urgente que ella necesitó. Un par es empedrado, calificado paria por allí la comunidad porque él es VIH-positivo. Una mujer VIH-positiva aborta a su propio bebé porque el personal del hospital rechaza asistirle. Este estigma intenso puede ser doloroso de aguantar.

Las buenas noticias son que el número de la gente que contrae la infección del VIH está cayendo, por todo el mundo. Hace unos meses, UNAIDS, lanzamientos su actualización de la epidemia de SIDA para 2007, VIH global de la nueva demostración dicha de los datos que el predominio (el porcentaje de la gente que vive con el VIH) ha nivelado apagado y el número de nuevas infecciones ha caído, en parte como resultado del impacto del programa del VIH.

Nigeria ahora alinea en segundo lugar entre naciones con el número más grande de la gente que vive con VIH (www.globalhealth.org). Separando la aritmética optimista, las experiencias de las gentes normales que viven con el VIH cuentan otra historia. El estigma y no la vigilancia, es el problema más grande.

Un muchacho de 25 años del estado de Obosi Anambra confía suicidio para escapar el estigma llenado encendido, debido a el asesoramiento incorrecto durante la prueba. Los hospitales y los laboratorios privados plantean un desafío grande en la condensación del estigma relacionado HIV/AIDS en el área rural de Nigeria. No sólo que algunos de ellos no tienen equipo actualizado en diagnosis, ellos están careciendo la información sobre HIV/AIDS donde causando trauma psicologico a cualquier cuerpo que pase con él cuál pudo resultar a la misión del suicidio.

El estigma es duro de seguir y su impacto incluso más difícilmente a medir. Hay datos generados de la necesidad sobre el estigma incluyendo exámenes en conocimiento, actitudes y comportamiento de HIV/AIDS. La aceptación total midió a través de indicadores como buena voluntad de cuidar para una persona positiva o aceptar a una persona positiva, incluso asociado con la persona positiva también se necesita.


Ésos vulnerables a y están experimentando el estigma social y la discriminación será desconcertada si fueron dichas que el conocimiento y el conocimiento sobre HIV/AIDS es más altos que antes. El conocimiento no está traduciendo a tolerancia o a un vertimiento del estigma.

La protección contra el VIH y la prevención de su extensión es ciertamente un mensaje dominante, pero la protección usando el estigma y la enajenación irá en ninguna parte. Es siempre desafiador luchar para la legislación y resultados mejores de la política. Nigeria está trabajando en una ley contra la discriminación de la persona VIH-positiva. Pero los leyes y las políticas no pueden ser substitutos para un acercamiento humano.

Stigma di combattimento di HIV/AIDS, una sfida globale

Lo Stigma di combattimento di HIV/AIDS, numeri globali

del AIDS di sfida globale è caduto drammaticamente, ma quella è soltanto metà di battaglia ha vinto. Lo Stigma verso la persona HIV-positiva deve essere ricambiato se la minaccia del AIDS deve essere sormontata.

Un soldato indiano scopre che è HIV-positivo ed è costretto a occuparsi del termine dei suoi servizi. Una donna incinta HIV-positiva dal Bengala ad ovest ha un autoadesivo intonacato sulla sua fronte dal personale dell'ospedale; è isolata nel quartiere ed ha rifiutato l'attenzione che medica urgente ha avuto bisogno di. Una coppia è lapidata, bollato outcast là da Comunità perché sono HIV-positive. Una donna HIV-positiva abbandona il suo proprio bambino perché il personale dell'ospedale rifiuta di aiutarlo. Questo stigma intenso può essere penoso da resistere a.

Le buone notizie sono che il numero di gente che contrae l'infezione di HIV sta cadendo, universalmente. Alcuni mesi fa, UNAIDS, rilasci il relativo aggiornamento di epidemia di AIDS per 2007, HIV che globale di nuova esposizione detta di dati la prevalenza (la percentuale della gente che vive con il HIV) ha stabilizzato ed il numero di nuove infezioni è caduto, in parte come conseguenza dell'effetto del programma del HIV.

Della Nigeria truppa ora in secondo luogo fra le nazioni con il più grande numero di gente che vive con il HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Smontando l'aritmetica ottimista, le esperienze nella gente ordinaria che vive con il HIV dicono ad un'altra storia. Lo Stigma e non la sorveglianza, è il problema più grande.

Un ragazzo di 25 anni da Obosi Anambra dichiara commette il suicide per fuoriuscire lo stigma accatastato sopra, a causa del consiglio improprio durante la prova. Gli ospedali ed i laboratori riservati propongono una sfida grande nel comprimere lo Stigma riferito HIV/AIDS nella zona rurale della Nigeria. Non solo che alcuni di loro non hanno apparecchiatura aggiornata nella diagnosi, stanno difettando delle informazioni su HIV/AIDS dove causando il trauma psicologico a tutto il corpo che attraversa loro quale potrebbe risultare alla missione di suicide.

Lo Stigma è duro da rintracciare ancora più duro ed il relativo effetto da misurare. Ci sono i dati generati di bisogno su stigma includendo le indagini su conoscenza, sugli atteggiamenti e sul comportamento di HIV/AIDS. L'accettazione generale ha misurato attraverso gli indicatori come compiacenza occuparsi di una persona positiva o accettare una persona positiva, persino socio con la persona positiva inoltre è necessario.


Quelli vulnerabili a e stanno avvertendo lo stigma sociale e la distinzione sarà imbarazzata se si dicessero a che la consapevolezza e la conoscenza circa HIV/AIDS sia superiori a prima. La consapevolezza non sta traducendo in tolleranza o spargimento dello stigma.

La protezione contro il HIV ed impedire la relativa diffusione è certamente un messaggio chiave, ma la protezione usando lo stigma e l'alienazione andrà in nessun posto. È sempre challenging combattere per legislazione e risultati migliori di politica. La Nigeria sta lavorando ad una legge contro la distinzione della persona HIV-positiva. Ma le leggi e le politiche non possono essere sostituti per un metodo umanitario.

Stigma combatendo de HIV/AIDS, um desafio global

O Stigma combatendo de HIV/AIDS, números globais

de um AIDS do desafio global deixou cair dramàtica, mas aquela é somente metade da batalha ganhou. O Stigma para a pessoa HIV-positiva necessita ser oposto se a ameaça do AIDS dever ser superada.

Um soldado Indian descobre que é HIV-positivo e está forçado para tratar da terminação de seus serviços. Uma mulher grávida HIV-positiva de Bengal ocidental tem uma etiqueta emplastrada em sua testa pela equipe de funcionários do hospital; é isolada na divisão e recusou a atenção que médica urgente necessitou. Um par é apedrejado, marcado outcast lá pela comunidade porque é HIV-positivo. Uma mulher HIV-positiva aborta seu próprio bebê porque a equipe de funcionários do hospital recusa lhe ajudar. Este stigma intenso pode ser doloroso para resistir.

A notícia boa é que o número dos povos que contraem a infecção de HIV está deixando cair, worldwide. Há alguns meses atrás, UNAIDS, liberações seu Update da epidemia de AIDS para 2007, HIV que global da mostra nova dita dos dados o prevalence (a porcentagem dos povos que vivem com HIV) nivelou fora e o número de infecções novas caiu, na parte em conseqüência do impacto do programa do HIV.

Nigéria espesso agora em segundo entre nações com o número o maior dos povos que vivem com HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Desmontando a aritmética optimistic, as experiências dos povos ordinários que vivem com HIV dizem uma outra história. O Stigma e não o surveillance, são o problema o mais grande.

Um menino de 25 year-old do estado de Obosi Anambra comete o suicide para escapar do stigma empilhado sobre, por causa de aconselhar impróprio durante testar. Os hospitais e os laboratórios confidenciais pose um desafio grande em comprimir o Stigma relacionado HIV/AIDS na área rural de Nigéria. Não somente que alguns deles não têm o equipamento moderno no diagnóstico, estão faltando a informação sobre HIV/AIDS onde causando o trauma psicológico a todo o corpo que passar com ele qual pôde resultar à missão do suicide.

O Stigma é duro de seguir mesmo mais duramente e seu impacto a medir. Há uns dados gerados da necessidade no stigma incluindo exames no conhecimento, nas atitudes e no comportamento de HIV/AIDS. A aceitação total mediu através dos indicadores como o voluntariedade importar-se com uma pessoa positiva ou aceitar uma pessoa positiva, mesmo associado com pessoa positiva é necessitada também.


Aqueles vulneráveis a e estão experimentando o stigma social e a discriminação será confundida se forem ditas que a consciência e o conhecimento sobre HIV/AIDS são mais elevados do que antes. A consciência não está traduzindo na tolerância ou em um derramamento do stigma.

A proteção de encontro ao HIV e a impedir sua propagação é certamente uma mensagem chave, mas a proteção usando o stigma e o alienation irá em nenhuma parte. É sempre challenging lutar pela legislação e por resultados melhores da política. Nigéria está trabalhando em uma lei de encontro à discriminação da pessoa HIV-positiva. Mas as leis e as políticas não podem ser substitutos para uma aproximação humana.

Combating HIV-/AIDSStigma, en global utmaning

Combating HIV-/AIDSStigma, en global global

utmaning BISTÅR numrerar har tappat dramatiskt, men det är endast halvan striden segrade. Stigma in mot HIV-realitet person behöver att kontras, om hot av BISTÅR är att vara betaget.

En indisk soldat upptäcker att han är HIV-realiteten och tvingas för att handla med avslutningen av his servar. Enrealitet gravid kvinna från västra Bengal har en klistermärke som rappas på hennes panna av sjukhuset för att bemanna; hon isoleras i avvärja och vägrade den akut medicinska uppmärksamheten som hon behövde. En koppla ihop stenas, den märkta outcasten av där gemenskapen, därför att de är HIV-realiteten. Enrealitet kvinna aborterar hennes eget behandla som ett barn, därför att sjukhuset bemannar vägrar för att hjälpa henne. Denna intensiva stigma kan vara smärtsam att uthärda.

Den bra nyheterna är, att antal människor som avtalar HIV-infektion tappar, över hela världen. Några månader sedan, BISTÅR UNAIDS, dess frigörare den epidemiska uppdateringen för 2007, har global HIV för den said nya datashowen som prevalence (procentsatsen av folk som bor med HIV) har jämn av och numrera av nya infektioner, stupat, i del som ett resultat av få effekt av HIV programmerar.

Nigeria rangordnar nu understöder bland nationer med det största antal människoruppehället med HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Ta den optimistiska aritmetiskn ifrån varandra, erfar av det vanligafolk som bor med HIV, berättar en annan berättelse. Stigma och inte bevakningen, är det största problemet.

En årig pojke 25 från Obosi statliga Anambra begår självmord till flykten som stigmaen travde på, på grund av felaktig rådgivning under att testa. Privata sjukhus och laboratorium poserar en stor utmaning, i att pressa samman HIV/AIDS släkt Stigma i landsbygden av Nigeria. Att inte endast några av dem inte har aktuell utrustning i diagnos, saknar de information om HIV/AIDS var, genom att orsaka psykologisk trauma till något, förkroppsliga som passerar till och med dem vilket styrkaresultat till självmordbeskickningen.

Stigma är hård att spåra, och dess få effekt även mer hård att mäta. Det finns frambragda data för behov på stigma vid inklusive granskningar på HIV-/AIDSkunskap, inställningar och uppförande. Total- godtagande som mätas till och med lik villighet för indikatorer för att att bry sig för en realitetperson eller för att acceptera en realitetperson, även bundsförvant med realitetpersonen, behövs också.


De som är sårbara till och erfar social stigma, och ska diskriminering förbryllas, om de berättades att medvetenheten och kunskap om HIV/AIDS är högre än för. Medvetenheten översätter inte in i tolerans eller en utgjutelse av stigma.

Skydd mot HIV och att förhindra dess spridning är bestämt ett nyckel- meddelande, men skydd genom att använda stigma och ska alienation går ingenstans. Det är alltid utmana att slåss för lagstiftning och att förbättra politikresultat. Nigeria är funktionsduglig på en lag mot diskriminering av HIV-realiteten personen. Men lagar och politik kan inte vara ersättningar för ett humant att närma sig.

Сражая HIV/AIDS Stigma, глобальная возможность

Сражая HIV/AIDS Stigma, номера AIDS

глобальной возможности глобальные падали драматически, но то будет только половина сражения выиграло. Stigma к HIV-положительной персоне нужно быть противопоставленным если угроза AIDS должна быть отжатым.

Индийский воин открывает он HIV-положитен и принуждается общаться с прекращением его обслуживаний. HIV-положительная супоросая женщина от западной Бенгалии имеет sticker заштукатуренный на ее лбе штатом стационара; она изолирована в палате и отказала срочное медицинское внимание, котор ей. Пара облицевана, после того как она затаврена отверженцем там общиной потому что они HIV-положительна. HIV-положительная женщина выкидывает ее собственного младенца потому что штат стационара отказывает помочь ей. Это интенсивное stigma может быть тягостно для того чтобы вытерпеть.

Хорошие новости что число людей заключая контракт инфекцию имуннодефицита падает, всемирно. Несколько месяцев тому назад, UNAIDS, отпуски свое уточнение эпидемии AIDS на 2007, HIV сказанной новой выставки данных, котор глобальный распространимость (процент людей живя с HIV) выравнивала и число новых инфекций падало, в часть в результате удара программы HIV.

Нигерия теперь выстраивает в ряд во-вторых среди наций с самым большим числом людей живя с HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Принимающ оптимистическую арифметику врозь, опыты обычных людей живя с HIV говорят другой рассказ. Stigma и не surveillance, будут самой большой проблемой.

Мальчик 25 year-old от положения Obosi Anambra поручает суицид для того чтобы избеубежать stigma сложенного дальше, из-за неправильный консультировать во время испытывать. Приватные стационары и лаборатории представляют большую возможность в компактировать Stigma отнесенное HIV/AIDS в сельском районе Нигерии. Not only что некоторые из их не имеют последнее оборудование в диагнозе, они нуждайтесь информации о HIV/AIDS где путем причинять психологический trauma к любому телу которое проходит до они могло привести к к полету суицида.

Stigma трудно для того чтобы отслеживать и свой удар даже более крепко, котор нужно измерить. Будет данные по потребности произведенные на stigma путем вклюать обзоры на знании, ориентациях и поведении HIV/AIDS. Общее принятие измеренное через индикаторы как готовность позаботить для положительной персоны или принять положительная персона, даже сподвижница с положительной персоной также необходимо.


Те уязвимые к и испытывают социальное stigma и различение будет озадачено если они были сказаны, то что осведомленность и знание о HIV/AIDS более высоки чем раньше. Осведомленность не переводит в допуск или осыпание stigma.

Предохранением против HIV и предотвращать свое распространение будет некоторо ключевое сообщение, но предохранение использующ stigma и отчужденность пойдет nowhere. Оно всегда challenging для того чтобы воевать для законодательства и более лучших исходов политики. Нигерия работает на законе против различения HIV-положительной персоны. Но законами и политиками не могут быть замены для гуманного подхода.

Het bestrijden van HIV/AIDS Stigma, een Globale Uitdaging
Automatically translated into Dutch thanks to WorldLingo
Bestrijdend HIV/AIDS Stigma, aantallen van een zijn de Globale

van de Uitdaging Globale AIDS dramatisch gedaald, maar dat is slechts de helft van de gewonnen slag. Stigma naar HIV-positive Persoon moet worden beantwoord als de bedreiging van AIDS moet worden overwonnen.

Een Indische militair ontdekt hij HIV-positive is en gedwongen om de beëindiging van zijn diensten te behandelen. Een HIV-positive zwangere vrouw van West-Bengalen heeft een sticker die op haar voorhoofd door het ziekenhuispersoneel wordt gepleisterd; zij is geïsoleerds in de afdeling en weigerde de dringende medische aandacht die zij heeft gewenst. Een paar wordt gestenigd, daar gemerkt outcast door communautair omdat zij HIV-positive zijn. Een HIV-positive vrouw aborteert haar eigen baby omdat het het ziekenhuispersoneel weigert om haar bij te staan. Dit intense stigma kan pijnlijk zijn te verdragen.

Het goede nieuws is dat het aantal mensen die HIV besmetting aangaan, wereldwijd daalt. Een paar maanden geleden, geeft UNAIDS, zijn Epidemische Update van AIDS voor 2007 vrij, tonen de bovengenoemde nieuwe gegevens het globale HIV overwicht (het percentage mensen die met HIV leven) zich heeft gestabiliseerd en het aantal nieuwe besmettingen, voor een deel als resultaat van het effect van HIV programma is gedaald.

Nigeria rangschikt nu tweede onder naties met het grootste aantal mensen die met HIV (www.globalhealth.org) leven. Nemend de optimistische rekenkunde apart, vertellen de ervaringen van gewone mensen die met HIV leven een ander verhaal. Stigma en niet het toezicht, zijn het grootste probleem.

Een 25 éénjarigenjongen van de Staat van Obosi Anambra begaat zelfmoord om aan stigma te ontsnappen, wegens het ongepaste adviseren tijdens het testen die wordt opgestapeld. De privé ziekenhuizen en de laboratoria vormen een grote uitdaging in het samenpersen HIV/AIDS verwante Stigma op het plattelandsgebied van Nigeria. Niet alleen dat wat van hen bijgewerkt materiaal in diagnose hebben, zij informatie over HIV/AIDS waar door psychologisch trauma aan geen lichaam niet hebben te veroorzaken dat door hen overgaat welke aan zelfmoordopdracht zou kunnen voortvloeien.

Stigma is moeilijk te volgen en zijn effect nog moeilijker te meten. Er is een behoefte aan geproduceerde gegevens over stigma door onderzoeken aangaande HIV/AIDS kennis, houdingen en gedrag te omvatten. De algemene goedkeuring die door indicatoren zoals bereidheid wordt gemeten om voor een positieve persoon te geven of een positieve persoon, zelfs vennoot met positieve persoon goed te keuren is ook nodig.


Die kwetsbaar aan en ervaren sociale stigma en het onderscheid zal worden in verwarring gebracht als zij werden verteld dat de voorlichting en de kennis over HIV/AIDS hoger zijn dan voordien. De voorlichting vertaalt niet in tolerantie of het afwerpen van stigma.

De bescherming tegen HIV en het verhinderen van zijn verspreiding is zeker een zeer belangrijk bericht, maar de bescherming die stigma en vervreemding gebruikt zal nergens gaan. Het is altijd uitdagend om voor de wetgeving en betere beleidsresultaten te vechten. Nigeria werkt aan een wet tegen onderscheid van HIV-positive persoon. Maar de wetten en het beleid kunnen substituten voor een menselijke benadering zijn niet.

bring to you compliments of the season even as I acknowledge the onerous task that you are carrying out in the field, I write to thank you all for your support, Contributions, ideas and wonderful postings just because of Election.

I never know that we have such a wonderful, vibrant and active young people in this E- forum that can devote their time energy and resources to talk about NYNETHA issues.

Too many young people die simply for lack of access to the knowledge that can save their lives. This knowledge exists; however it remains inaccessible to those who need it the most. Access to health information is an integral part of all health systems because it can improve people's health.

HIV/AIDS is trying to keep its promise by destroying our economy, increasing the number of orphan and vulnerable children in the country, bringing poverty to our Country, kill our young people, keep our young people out off school, broken homes, taking our love ones from us.
We need to ask ourselves these questions, are we keeping the promise, the promise of care and support PLWHA, the promise of greater involvement of PLWHA, in the planning, implementation and monitoring of HIV/AIDS activities, the promise of accountability, the promise of an HIV/AIDS free society and sustainable development. This and other questions we need to ask ourselves individually as we are in another year of HIV promise. It is a challenge to all of us to become more knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS and its related promises. The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is increasing on young people and woman.
Some of us, where known and heard only in internet but when you come to their community and grassroots where HIV is keeping its promise they are doing noting. Everybody wants to be heard and known because NYNETHA election is at hand. But since we started this forum, they have not raised any issue, suggestions or shared any best practices for others to emulate. But today every body wants to be noticed ad heard just because of election.
The challenges that we young people are facing today are formidable, over 500 million people ages between 15 and 24 are living below the poverty line (less than $2.00 per day). 6,000 young people are infected with HIV daily And 1,500 women most of whom under 24 years die everyday as a result of Early pregnancy or childbirth World Population Report 2005 indicates That almost a quarter of all individuals living with HIV/AIDS are young People, yet they represent half of all new HIV infection cases. The prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is about 4.4% translating to over 3.5 million people. The highest rate (5.6%) of infection is among young people aged 20-29 years. Despite progress in expanding prevention and treatment in the country, only 20% of males and 10 % of females between the ages 14 -25 can correctly identify ways of preventing HIV transmission. 1,200 young people in Nigeria got infected with HIV every day, which shows that one person per minute. World Population Report 2005 indicates Youth even though are important segment of our society lack the necessary information, skills and services that are needed to prevent themselves from contracting HIV. Youth are critical stakeholders in development processes and in the control of HIV/AIDS, we need to be heard and support. My dear brothers and sister, HIV and AIDS is one of the greatest threats to the welfare of Nigerian youths today, if we start to think about these issues and there solution then, this will start to break down the stigma and discrimination barriers that exist, and also provide a way for HIV/AIDS free society which is our vision

Le taux de prédominance de HIV/SIDA au Nigéria est environ 4.4% traduisant à plus de 3.5 millions de personnes. Le taux le plus élevé (5.6%) d'infection est parmi les jeunes âgés 20-29 ans. En dépit du progrès dans l'empêchement et le traitement de extension dans le pays, seulement de 20% de mâles et de 10 % des femelles entre les âges 14 -25 peut correctement identifier des manières d'empêcher la transmission d'HIV. 1.200 jeunes au Nigéria ont obtenu atteint d'HIV journalier, qui montre cette une personne par minute. Le rapport 2005 de population du monde indique la jeunesse quoique soient le segment important de notre manque de société l'information nécessaire, les qualifications et les services qui sont nécessaires pour s'empêcher de contracter HIV.

HIV/AIDS är pröva till uppehället dess löfte, genom att förstöra vår ekonomi som är ökande numrera av föräldralöst, och sårbara barn i landet som kommer med armod till vårt land, byte vår ungdomar, uppehället som vår ungdomar ut av skola, brutna hem som tar vår förälskelse från oss.
Vi behöver att fråga oss själva dessa ifrågasätter, är oss som håller löftet, löftet av omsorg och service PLWHA, löftet av mer stor medverkan av PLWHA, i planera, genomförandet och att övervaka av HIV-/AIDSaktiviteter, löftet av ansvarighet, löftet av ett samhälle för HIV/AIDS fritt och hållbar utveckling. Detta och annat ifrågasätter oss behöver att fråga oss själva individuellt, som vi är i ett annat år av HIV-löftet. Det är en utmaning till allihop som blir mer kunnig om HIV/AIDS och dess släkta löften. Antal människoruppehället med HIV/AIDS i Nigeria är ökande på ungdomar och kvinna.
Några av oss, var bekant och hört endast i internet men, när du kommer till deras gemenskap och gräsrötter var HIV håller dess löfte, gör de att notera. Alla önskar att vara hörd, och bekant, därför att NYNETHA-valet är på, räcka.

Доступом к данным по здоровья будет неотъемлемая часть всех систем здоровья потому что он может улучшить здоровье людей.

HIV/AIDS пытается держать свой посыл путем разрушать нашу экономию, увеличивая число сиротского и уязвимые дети в стране, принося скудость к нашей стране, убийство наши молодые люди, держат наших молодых людей вне с школы, сломанных домов, принимая нашей влюбленности одни от нас.

Несмотря на прогресс в расширяя предохранении и обработке в стране, только 20% мужчин и 10% женщин между временами 14 -25 может правильно определить дороги предотвращать передачу HIV. 1.200 молодых людей в Нигерии получили после того как они заражены с HIV ежедневным, который показывает ту одну персону в минуту. Отчет о 2005 населения земли показывает молодость даже если важный этап нашего отсутсвия общества обязательно информация, искусства и обслуживания который необходим для того чтобы предотвратить от заключать контракт HIV. Молодостью будет критически stakeholders в процессах развития и в управлении HIV/AIDS, нам нужно быть услышанным и поддержка. Мои дорогие братья и сестра, HIV и AIDS одной из больших угроз к благосостоянию нигерийских молодостей сегодня, если мы начинаем думать о этих вопросах и там разрешении после этого, то это начнут break down барьеры stigma и различения которые существуют, и также обеспечивают дорогу для обществом HIV/AIDS свободно которое будет наше зрение

NYNETHA LEIDING

aan breng u complimenteert van het seizoen zelfs aangezien ik de zware taak die u op het gebied uitvoert erken, schrijf ik om u allen voor uw steun, Bijdragen, ideeën en het prachtige posten enkel wegens Verkiezing te danken.

Ik weet nooit dat wij zulk een prachtige, trillende en actieve jonge mensen in dit forum hebben van E dat hun tijdenergie en middelen kan wijden om over kwesties te spreken NYNETHA.

Teveel jonge mensen sterven eenvoudig bij gebrek aan toegang tot de kennis die hun leven kan redden. Deze kennis bestaat; nochtans blijft het ontoegankelijk aan zij die het het meest nodig hebben. De toegang tot gezondheidsinformatie is een integraal deel van alle gezondheidssystemen omdat het de gezondheid van mensen kan verbeteren.

HIV/AIDS probeert om zijn belofte te houden door onze economie te vernietigen, die het aantal wees en kwetsbare kinderen in het land verhoogt, dat armoede tot ons Land, doden brengt onze jonge mensen, onze jonge mensen van school weg houden, gebroken huizen, die onze liefdedegenen van ons nemen.
Wij moeten deze vragen stellen, zijn wij die de belofte, de belofte van zorg en steun PLWHA, de belofte houden van grotere betrokkenheid van PLWHA, in de planning, implementatie en toezicht op HIV/AIDS activiteiten, de belofte van verantwoordingsplicht, de belofte van de HIV/AIDS vrije maatschappij en duurzame ontwikkeling. Dit en andere vragen die wij hebben moeten om individueel vragen aangezien wij zijn in een ander jaar van HIV belofte. Het is een uitdaging aan wij allemaal om over HIV/AIDS en zijn verwante beloften goed meer geïnformeerd te worden. Het aantal mensen die met HIV/AIDS in Nigeria leven stijgt op jonge mensen en vrouw.
Wat van ons, waar gekend en gehoord slechts in Internet maar wanneer u aan hun gemeenschap en basis komt waar HIV zijn belofte houdt zij het nota nemen van doen. Iedereen wil worden gehoord en worden gekend omdat de verkiezing NYNETHA dichtbij is. Maar aangezien wij dit forum begonnen, hebben zij geen kwestie besproken, suggesties of geen beste praktijken voor na te streven anderen gedeeld. Maar vandaag wil elk lichaam opgemerkte advertentie zijn die enkel wegens verkiezing wordt gehoord.
De uitdagingen dievoor wij jonge mensen vandaag staan zijn formidabel, leven meer dan 500 miljoen mensenleeftijden tussen 15 en 24 onder de armoedelijn (minder dan $2.00 per dag). 6.000 jonge mensen zijn dagelijks besmet met HIV en 1.500 vrouwen de meesten waarvan onder 24 jaar matrijzen als resultaat van Vroege zwangerschap of bevallingsRapport 2005 van de Bevolking van de Wereld elke dag dat bijna een kwart alle individuen die met HIV/AIDS leven jonge Mensen is erop wijst, nog vertegenwoordigen zij de helft alle nieuwe HIV besmettingsgevallen. Het overwichtstarief van HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is ongeveer 4.4% vertalend aan meer dan 3.5 miljoen mensen. Het hoogste tarief (5.6%) van besmetting is onder jonge mensen van 20-29 jaar. Ondanks vooruitgang in het uitbreiden van preventie en behandeling in het land, kunnen slechts 20% van mannetjes en 10% van wijfjes tussen leeftijden 14 -25 manieren correct identificeren om HIV transmissie te verhinderen. 1.200 jonge mensen in Nigeria werden besmet met dagelijks HIV, die die één persoon per minuut toont. Rapport 2005 van de Bevolking van de wereld wijst op de Jeugd alhoewel belangrijk segment van ons de maatschappijgebrek de noodzakelijke informatie, de vaardigheden en de diensten zijn die nodig zijn om te verhinderen HIV aan te gaan. De jeugd bent kritieke bewaarders in ontwikkelingsprocessen en in de controle van HIV/AIDS, moeten wij worden gehoord en steun. Mijn beste broers en zuster, HIV en AIDS zijn één van de grootste bedreigingen voor het welzijn van Nigeriaanse jongeren, als wij om over deze kwesties en daar oplossing beginnen dan te denken, dit vandaag zullen beginnen om de stigma en onderscheidsbarrières op te splitsen die, bestaan en ook een manier voor HIV/AIDS de vrije maatschappij verstrekken die onze visie is

Combating HIV/AIDS Stigma, a Global Challenge

Global AIDS numbers have dropped dramatically, but that is only half the battle won. Stigma towards HIV-positive Person needs to be countered if the threat of AIDS is to be overcome.

An Indian soldier discovers he is HIV-positive and is forced to deal with the termination of his services. An HIV-positive pregnant woman from West Bengal has a sticker plastered on her forehead by hospital staff; she is isolated in the ward and refused the urgent medical attention she needed. A couple is stoned, branded outcast by there community because they are HIV-positive. A HIV-positive woman aborts her own baby because hospital staff refuses to assist her. This intense stigma can be painful to endure.

The good news is that the number of people contracting HIV infection is dropping, worldwide. A few months ago, UNAIDS, releases its AIDS Epidemic Update for 2007, said new data show global HIV prevalence (the percentage of people living with HIV) has leveled off and the number of new infections has fallen, in part as a result of the impact of HIV programme.

Nigeria now ranks second among nations with the largest number of people living with HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Taking the optimistic arithmetic apart, the experiences of ordinary people living with HIV tell another story. Stigma and not surveillance, is the biggest problem.

A 25-year-old boy from Obosi Anambra State commits suicide to escape the stigma piled on, because of in proper counseling during testing. Private hospitals and laboratories pose a big challenge in compacting HIV/AIDS related Stigma in the rural area of Nigeria. Not only that some of them do not have up to date equipment in diagnosis, they are lacking information about HIV/AIDS where by causing psychological trauma to any body that passes through them which might result to suicide mission.

Stigma is hard to track and its impact even harder to measure. There is a need to generated data on stigma by including surveys on HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Overall acceptance measured through indicators like willingness to care for a positive person or accept a positive person, even associate with positive person is also needed.

Those vulnerable to and are experiencing social stigma and discrimination will be puzzled if they were told that awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS is higher than before. Awareness is not translating into tolerance or a shedding of stigma.
Protection against HIV and preventing its spread is certainly a key message, but protection using stigma and alienation will go nowhere. It is always challenging to fight for legislation and better policy outcomes. Nigeria is working on a law against discrimination of HIV-positive person. But laws and policies cannot be substitutes for a humane approach.

Stigmate combattant de HIV/SIDA, un défi global

Le stigmate combattant de HIV/SIDA, des nombres globaux

d'un SIDA de défi global se sont laissés tomber nettement, mais c'est seulement moitié de la bataille a gagné. Le stigmate vers la personne HIV-positive doit être paré si la menace du SIDA doit être surmontée.

Un soldat indien découvre qu'il est HIV-positif et est forcé de traiter l'arrêt de ses services. Une femme enceinte HIV-positive du Bengale occidental a un autocollant plâtré sur son front par le personnel d'hôpital ; elle est isolée dans la salle et a refusé l'attention médicale pressante qu'elle a eue besoin. Un couple est lapidé, marqué banni par là la communauté parce qu'ils sont HIV-positifs. Une femme HIV-positive avorte son propre bébé parce que le personnel d'hôpital refuse de l'aider. Il peut être pénible supporter ce stigmate intense.

Les bonnes nouvelles sont que le nombre de personnes contractant l'infection par le HIV Chute, dans le monde entier. Il y a quelques mois, UNAIDS, dégagements sa mise à jour d'épidémie de SIDA pour 2007, HIV global de ladite nouvelle exposition de données que la prédominance (le pourcentage des personnes vivant avec HIV) s'est stabilisé et le nombre de nouvelles infections est tombé, en partie en raison de l'impact du programme d'HIV.

Le Nigéria se range maintenant en second lieu parmi des nations avec le plus grand nombre de personnes vivant avec HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Démontant l'arithmétique optimiste, les expériences des gens du commun vivant avec HIV indiquent une autre histoire. Le stigmate et pas la surveillance, est le plus grand problème.

Un garçon de 25 ans de l'état d'Obosi Anambra commet le suicide pour échapper au stigmate empilé dessus, en raison de dans la consultation appropriée pendant l'essai. Les hôpitaux et les laboratoires privés posent un grand défi en rendant le stigmate relié par HIV/SIDA dans la région rurale du Nigéria compact. Non seulement que certains d'entre eux n'ont pas l'équipement à jour dans le diagnostic, ils manquent des informations sur le HIV/SIDA où en causant le trauma psychologique à n'importe quel corps qui traverse eux ce qui pourrait résulter à la mission de suicide.

Il est difficile de dépister stigmate et son impact encore plus dur à mesurer. Il y a des données produites du besoin sur le stigmate en incluant des aperçus sur la connaissance, des attitudes et le comportement de HIV/SIDA. L'acceptation globale mesurée par des indicateurs comme la volonté de s'occuper d'une personne positive ou d'accepter une personne positive, même associé avec la personne positive est nécessaire également.

Ceux vulnérables à et éprouvent le stigmate social et la discrimination sera embarassée si on leur disait que la conscience et la connaissance au sujet du HIV/SIDA est plus haute qu'avant. La conscience ne traduit pas en tolérance ou perte de stigmate.
La protection contre HIV et empêcher sa diffusion est certainement un message principal, mais la protection en utilisant le stigmate et l'aliénation ira nulle part. Il est toujours provocant pour combattre pour la législation et les meilleurs résultats de politique. Le Nigéria travaille à une loi contre la discrimination de la personne HIV-positive. Mais les lois et les politiques ne peuvent pas être des produits de remplacement pour une approche humanitaire.

El estigma de HIV/AIDS que combatía, los números globales

de un SIDA del desafío global ha caído dramáticamente, pero ésa es solamente mitad de la batalla ganó. El estigma hacia persona VIH-positiva necesita ser contradicho si se va la amenaza del SIDA a ser superada.

Un soldado indio descubre que él es VIH-positivo y que está forzado para ocuparse de la terminación de sus servicios. Una mujer embarazada VIH-positiva de Bengala del oeste tiene una etiqueta engomada enyesada en su frente por el personal del hospital; la aíslan en la sala y rechazó la atención médica urgente que ella necesitó. Un par es empedrado, calificado paria por allí la comunidad porque él es VIH-positivo. Una mujer VIH-positiva aborta a su propio bebé porque el personal del hospital rechaza asistirle. Este estigma intenso puede ser doloroso de aguantar.

Las buenas noticias son que el número de la gente que contrae la infección del VIH está cayendo, por todo el mundo. Hace unos meses, UNAIDS, lanzamientos su actualización de la epidemia de SIDA para 2007, VIH global de la nueva demostración dicha de los datos que el predominio (el porcentaje de la gente que vive con el VIH) ha nivelado apagado y el número de nuevas infecciones ha caído, en parte como resultado del impacto del programa del VIH.

Nigeria ahora alinea en segundo lugar entre naciones con el número más grande de la gente que vive con VIH (www.globalhealth.org). Separando la aritmética optimista, las experiencias de las gentes normales que viven con el VIH cuentan otra historia. El estigma y no la vigilancia, es el problema más grande.

Un muchacho de 25 años del estado de Obosi Anambra confía suicidio para escapar el estigma llenado encendido, debido a en el asesoramiento apropiado durante la prueba. Los hospitales y los laboratorios privados plantean un desafío grande en la condensación del estigma relacionado HIV/AIDS en el área rural de Nigeria. No sólo que algunos de ellos no tienen equipo actualizado en diagnosis, ellos están careciendo la información sobre HIV/AIDS donde causando trauma psicologico a cualquier cuerpo que pase con él cuál pudo resultar a la misión del suicidio.

El estigma es duro de seguir y su impacto incluso más difícilmente a medir. Hay datos generados de la necesidad sobre el estigma incluyendo exámenes en conocimiento, actitudes y comportamiento de HIV/AIDS. La aceptación total midió a través de indicadores como buena voluntad de cuidar para una persona positiva o aceptar a una persona positiva, incluso asociado con la persona positiva también se necesita.

Ésos vulnerables a y están experimentando el estigma social y la discriminación será desconcertada si fueron dichas que el conocimiento y el conocimiento sobre HIV/AIDS es más altos que antes. El conocimiento no está traduciendo a tolerancia o a un vertimiento del estigma.
La protección contra el VIH y la prevención de su extensión es ciertamente un mensaje dominante, pero la protección usando el estigma y la enajenación irá en ninguna parte. Es siempre desafiador luchar para la legislación y resultados mejores de la política. Nigeria está trabajando en una ley contra la discriminación de la persona VIH-positiva. Pero los leyes y las políticas no pueden ser substitutos para un acercamiento humano.

Stigma di combattimento di HIV/AIDS, una sfida globale

Lo Stigma di combattimento di HIV/AIDS, numeri globali

del AIDS di sfida globale è caduto drammaticamente, ma quella è soltanto metà di battaglia ha vinto. Lo Stigma verso la persona HIV-positiva deve essere ricambiato se la minaccia del AIDS deve essere sormontata.

Un soldato indiano scopre che è HIV-positivo ed è costretto a occuparsi del termine dei suoi servizi. Una donna incinta HIV-positiva dal Bengala ad ovest ha un autoadesivo intonacato sulla sua fronte dal personale dell'ospedale; è isolata nel quartiere ed ha rifiutato l'attenzione che medica urgente ha avuto bisogno di. Una coppia è lapidata, bollato outcast là da Comunità perché sono HIV-positive. Una donna HIV-positiva abbandona il suo proprio bambino perché il personale dell'ospedale rifiuta di aiutarlo. Questo stigma intenso può essere penoso da resistere a.

Le buone notizie sono che il numero di gente che contrae l'infezione di HIV sta cadendo, universalmente. Alcuni mesi fa, UNAIDS, rilasci il relativo aggiornamento di epidemia di AIDS per 2007, HIV che globale di nuova esposizione detta di dati la prevalenza (la percentuale della gente che vive con il HIV) ha stabilizzato ed il numero di nuove infezioni è caduto, in parte come conseguenza dell'effetto del programma del HIV.

Della Nigeria truppa ora in secondo luogo fra le nazioni con il più grande numero di gente che vive con il HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Smontando l'aritmetica ottimista, le esperienze nella gente ordinaria che vive con il HIV dicono ad un'altra storia. Lo Stigma e non la sorveglianza, è il problema più grande.

Un ragazzo di 25 anni da Obosi Anambra dichiara commette il suicide per fuoriuscire lo stigma accatastato sopra, a causa del consiglio adeguato durante la prova. Gli ospedali ed i laboratori riservati propongono una sfida grande nel comprimere lo Stigma riferito HIV/AIDS nella zona rurale della Nigeria. Non solo che alcuni di loro non hanno apparecchiatura aggiornata nella diagnosi, stanno difettando delle informazioni su HIV/AIDS dove causando il trauma psicologico a tutto il corpo che attraversa loro quale potrebbe risultare alla missione di suicide.

Lo Stigma è duro da rintracciare ancora più duro ed il relativo effetto da misurare. Ci sono i dati generati di bisogno su stigma includendo le indagini su conoscenza, sugli atteggiamenti e sul comportamento di HIV/AIDS. L'accettazione generale ha misurato attraverso gli indicatori come compiacenza occuparsi di una persona positiva o accettare una persona positiva, persino socio con la persona positiva inoltre è necessario.

Quelli vulnerabili a e stanno avvertendo lo stigma sociale e la distinzione sarà imbarazzata se si dicessero a che la consapevolezza e la conoscenza circa HIV/AIDS sia superiori a prima. La consapevolezza non sta traducendo in tolleranza o spargimento dello stigma.
La protezione contro il HIV ed impedire la relativa diffusione è certamente un messaggio chiave, ma la protezione usando lo stigma e l'alienazione andrà in nessun posto. È sempre challenging combattere per legislazione e risultati migliori di politica. La Nigeria sta lavorando ad una legge contro la distinzione della persona HIV-positiva. Ma le leggi e le politiche non possono essere sostituti per un metodo umanitario.

Bekämpfende HIV/AIDS Schande, eine globale Herausforderung

Bekämpfende HIV/AIDS Schande, Zahlen eines globale

Herausforderung globale AIDS sind drastisch gefallen, aber die ist nur Hälfte Schlacht gewann. Schande in Richtung zur HIV-positiven Person muß widersprochen werden, wenn die Drohung von AIDS überwunden werden soll.

Ein indischer Soldat entdeckt, daß er HIV-positiv ist und gezwungen wird, um den Endpunkt seiner Dienstleistungen zu beschäftigen. Eine HIV-positive schwangere Frau von Westbengal hat einen Aufkleber, der auf ihrer Stirn durch Krankenhausstab vergipst wird; sie wird im Bezirk lokalisiert und die dringende ärztliche Behandlung ablehnte, die sie benötigte. Ein Paar wird entsteint, dort eingebrannt bannie von der Gemeinschaft, weil sie HIV-positiv sind. Eine HIV-positive Frau bricht ihr eigenes Baby ab, weil Krankenhausstab ablehnt, sie zu unterstützen. Diese intensive Schande kann schmerzlich sein auszuhalten.

Die guten Nachrichten sind, daß die Zahl den Leuten, die vertrag HIV Infektion abschließen, fällt, weltweit. Vor einigen Monaten ist UNAIDS, Freigaben sein AIDS Epidemie-Update für 2007, besagtes neues Datenerscheinen globaler HIV, den Vorherrschen (der Prozentsatz der Leute, die mit HIV leben) weg und die Zahl neuer Infektion geebnet hat, in Teil resultierend aus der Auswirkung des HIV Programms gefallen.

Nigeria ordnet jetzt an zweiter Stelle unter Nationen mit der größten Zahl den Leuten, die mit HIV (www.globalhealth.org) leben. Die optimistische Arithmetik auseinandernehmend, erklären die Erfahrungen der normalen Leute, die mit HIV leben, eine andere Geschichte. Schande und nicht überwachung, ist das größte Problem.

Ein 25 Einjahresjunge Obosi Anambra vom Zustand legt Selbstmord fest, um der Schande zu entgehen an angehäuft, wegen in des korrekten Ratens während der Prüfung. Private Krankenhäuser und Labors werfen eine grosse Herausforderung auf, wenn sie HIV/AIDS bezogene Schande im ländlichen Gebiet von Nigeria verbinden. Nicht nur daß einige von ihnen nicht aktuelle Ausrüstung in der Diagnose, sie haben, Informationen über HIV/AIDS in dem indem das Verursachen jedem möglichem Körper des psychologischen Traumas ermangeln, der durch sie führt, welches zur Selbstmordmission resultieren konnte.

Schande ist hart, sogar stark aufzuspüren und seine Auswirkung, zum zu messen. Es gibt Notwendigkeit erzeugte Daten bezüglich der Schande, indem man übersichten auf HIV/AIDS Wissen, Haltung und Verhalten einschließt. Gesamte Annahme maß durch Anzeigen wie Bereitwilligkeit, sich für eine positive Person zu interessieren, oder, eine positive Person, sogar Teilnehmer anzunehmen mit positiver Person wird auch benötigt.

Die, die zu verletzbar sind und erfahren SozialSchande und Unterscheidung wird verwirrt, wenn sie erklärt wurden, daß Bewußtsein und Wissen über HIV/AIDS höher als vorher ist. Bewußtsein übersetzt nicht in Toleranz oder in einen Shedding der Schande.
Schutz gegen HIV und das Verhindern seiner Verbreitung ist zweifellos eine Schlüsselanzeige, aber Schutz mit Schande und Entfremdung geht nirgendwo. Es ist immer schwierig, für Gesetzgebung und bessere Politikresultate zu kämpfen. Nigeria arbeitet auf einem Gesetz gegen Unterscheidung der HIV-positiven Person. Aber Gesetze und politische Richtlinien können nicht Ersatz für eine menschliche Annäherung sein.

Um par é apedrejado, marcado outcast lá pela comunidade porque é HIV-positivo. Uma mulher HIV-positiva aborta seu próprio bebê porque a equipe de funcionários do hospital recusa lhe ajudar. Este stigma intenso pode ser doloroso para resistir.

A notícia boa é que o número dos povos que contraem a infecção de HIV está deixando cair, worldwide. Há alguns meses atrás, UNAIDS, liberações seu Update da epidemia de AIDS para 2007, HIV que global da mostra nova dita dos dados o prevalence (a porcentagem dos povos que vivem com HIV) nivelou fora e o número de infecções novas caiu, na parte em conseqüência do impacto do programa do HIV.

Nigéria espesso agora em segundo entre nações com o número o maior dos povos que vivem com HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Desmontando a aritmética optimistic, as experiências dos povos ordinários que vivem com HIV dizem uma outra história. O Stigma e não o surveillance, são o problema o mais grande.

Um menino de 25 year-old do estado de Obosi Anambra comete o suicide para escapar do stigma empilhado sobre, por causa de aconselhar apropriado durante testar. Os hospitais e os laboratórios confidenciais pose um desafio grande em comprimir o Stigma relacionado HIV/AIDS na área rural de Nigéria. Não somente que alguns deles não têm o equipamento moderno no diagnóstico, estão faltando a informação sobre HIV/AIDS onde causando o trauma psicológico a todo o corpo que passar com ele qual pôde resultar à missão do suicide.

O Stigma é duro de seguir mesmo mais duramente e seu impacto a medir. Há uns dados gerados da necessidade no stigma incluindo exames no conhecimento, nas atitudes e no comportamento de HIV/AIDS. A aceitação total mediu através dos indicadores como o voluntariedade importar-se com uma pessoa positiva ou aceitar uma pessoa positiva, mesmo associado com pessoa positiva é necessitada também.

Aqueles vulneráveis a e estão experimentando o stigma social e a discriminação será confundida se forem ditas que a consciência e o conhecimento sobre HIV/AIDS são mais elevados do que antes. A consciência não está traduzindo na tolerância ou em um derramamento do stigma.
A proteção de encontro ao HIV e a impedir sua propagação é certamente uma mensagem chave, mas a proteção usando o stigma e o alienation irá em nenhuma parte. É sempre challenging lutar pela legislação e por resultados melhores da política. Nigéria está trabalhando em uma lei de encontro à discriminação da pessoa HIV-positiva.

Combating HIV-/AIDSStigma, en global global

utmaning BISTÅR numrerar har tappat dramatiskt, men det är endast halvan striden segrade. Stigma in mot HIV-realitet person behöver att kontras, om hot av BISTÅR är att vara betaget.

En indisk soldat upptäcker att han är HIV-realiteten och tvingas för att handla med avslutningen av his servar. Enrealitet gravid kvinna från västra Bengal har en klistermärke som rappas på hennes panna av sjukhuset för att bemanna; hon isoleras i avvärja och vägrade den akut medicinska uppmärksamheten som hon behövde. En koppla ihop stenas, den märkta outcasten av där gemenskapen, därför att de är HIV-realiteten. Enrealitet kvinna aborterar hennes eget behandla som ett barn, därför att sjukhuset bemannar vägrar för att hjälpa henne. Denna intensiva stigma kan vara smärtsam att uthärda.

Den bra nyheterna är, att antal människor som avtalar HIV-infektion tappar, över hela världen. Några månader sedan, BISTÅR UNAIDS, dess frigörare den epidemiska uppdateringen för 2007, har global HIV för den said nya datashowen som prevalence (procentsatsen av folk som bor med HIV) har jämn av och numrera av nya infektioner, stupat, i del som ett resultat av få effekt av HIV programmerar.

Nigeria rangordnar nu understöder bland nationer med det största antal människoruppehället med HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Ta den optimistiska aritmetiskn ifrån varandra, erfar av det vanligafolk som bor med HIV, berättar en annan berättelse. Stigma och inte bevakningen, är det största problemet.

En årig pojke 25 från Obosi statliga Anambra begår självmord till flykten som stigmaen travde på, på grund av i riktig rådgivning under att testa. Privata sjukhus och laboratorium poserar en stor utmaning, i att pressa samman HIV/AIDS släkt Stigma i landsbygden av Nigeria. Att inte endast några av dem inte har aktuell utrustning i diagnos, saknar de information om HIV/AIDS var, genom att orsaka psykologisk trauma till något, förkroppsliga som passerar till och med dem vilket styrkaresultat till självmordbeskickningen.

Stigma är hård att spåra, och dess få effekt även mer hård att mäta. Det finns frambragda data för behov på stigma vid inklusive granskningar på HIV-/AIDSkunskap, inställningar och uppförande. Total- godtagande som mätas till och med lik villighet för indikatorer för att att bry sig för en realitetperson eller för att acceptera en realitetperson, även bundsförvant med realitetpersonen, behövs också.

De som är sårbara till och erfar social stigma, och ska diskriminering förbryllas, om de berättades att medvetenheten och kunskap om HIV/AIDS är högre än för. Medvetenheten översätter inte in i tolerans eller en utgjutelse av stigma.
Skydd mot HIV och att förhindra dess spridning är bestämt ett nyckel- meddelande, men skydd genom att använda stigma och ska alienation går ingenstans. Det är alltid utmana att slåss för lagstiftning och att förbättra politikresultat. Nigeria är funktionsduglig på en lag mot diskriminering av HIV-realiteten personen. Men lagar och politik kan inte vara ersättningar för ett humant att närma sig.

глобальной возможности глобальные падали драматически, но то будет только половина сражения выиграло. Stigma к HIV-положительной персоне нужно быть противопоставленным если угроза AIDS должна быть отжатым.

Индийский воин открывает он HIV-положитен и принуждается общаться с прекращением его обслуживаний. HIV-положительная супоросая женщина от западной Бенгалии имеет sticker заштукатуренный на ее лбе штатом стационара; она изолирована в палате и отказала срочное медицинское внимание, котор ей. Пара облицевана, после того как она затаврена отверженцем там общиной потому что они HIV-положительна. HIV-положительная женщина выкидывает ее собственного младенца потому что штат стационара отказывает помочь ей. Это интенсивное stigma может быть тягостно для того чтобы вытерпеть.

Хорошие новости что число людей заключая контракт инфекцию имуннодефицита падает, всемирно. Несколько месяцев тому назад, UNAIDS, отпуски свое уточнение эпидемии AIDS на 2007, HIV сказанной новой выставки данных, котор глобальный распространимость (процент людей живя с HIV) выравнивала и число новых инфекций падало, в часть в результате удара программы HIV.

Нигерия теперь выстраивает в ряд во-вторых среди наций с самым большим числом людей живя с HIV (www.globalhealth.org). Принимающ оптимистическую арифметику врозь, опыты обычных людей живя с HIV говорят другой рассказ. Stigma и не surveillance, будут самой большой проблемой.

Мальчик 25 year-old от положения Obosi Anambra поручает суицид для того чтобы избеубежать stigma сложенного дальше, из-за в правильный консультировать во время испытывать. Приватные стационары и лаборатории представляют большую возможность в компактировать Stigma отнесенное HIV/AIDS в сельском районе Нигерии. Not only что некоторые из их не имеют последнее оборудование в диагнозе, они нуждайтесь информации о HIV/AIDS где путем причинять психологический trauma к любому телу которое проходит до они могло привести к к полету суицида.

Stigma трудно для того чтобы отслеживать и свой удар даже более крепко, котор нужно измерить. Будет данные по потребности произведенные на stigma путем вклюать обзоры на знании, ориентациях и поведении HIV/AIDS. Общее принятие измеренное через индикаторы как готовность позаботить для положительной персоны или принять положительная персона, даже сподвижница с положительной персоной также необходимо.

Те уязвимые к и испытывают социальное stigma и различение будет озадачено если они были сказаны, то что осведомленность и знание о HIV/AIDS более высоки чем раньше. Осведомленность не переводит в допуск или осыпание stigma.
Предохранением против HIV и предотвращать свое распространение будет некоторо ключевое сообщение, но предохранение использующ stigma и отчужденность пойдет nowhere. Оно всегда challenging для того чтобы воевать для законодательства и более лучших исходов политики. Нигерия работает на законе против различения HIV-положительной персоны. Но законами и политиками не могут быть замены для гуманного подхода.

Het bestrijden van HIV/AIDS Stigma, een Globale Uitdaging

Bestrijdend HIV/AIDS Stigma, aantallen van een zijn de Globale

van de Uitdaging Globale AIDS dramatisch gedaald, maar dat is slechts de helft van de gewonnen slag. Stigma naar HIV-positive Persoon moet worden beantwoord als de bedreiging van AIDS moet worden overwonnen.

Een Indische militair ontdekt hij HIV-positive is en gedwongen om de beëindiging van zijn diensten te behandelen. Een HIV-positive zwangere vrouw van West-Bengalen heeft een sticker die op haar voorhoofd door het ziekenhuispersoneel wordt gepleisterd; zij is geïsoleerdb in de afdeling en weigerde de dringende medische aandacht die zij heeft gewenst. Een paar wordt gestenigd, daar gemerkt outcast door communautair omdat zij HIV-positive zijn. Een HIV-positive vrouw aborteert haar eigen baby omdat het het ziekenhuispersoneel weigert om haar bij te staan. Dit intense stigma kan pijnlijk zijn te verdragen.

Het goede nieuws is dat het aantal mensen die HIV besmetting aangaan, wereldwijd daalt. Een paar maanden geleden, geeft UNAIDS, zijn Epidemische Update van AIDS voor 2007 vrij, tonen de bovengenoemde nieuwe gegevens het globale HIV overwicht (het percentage mensen die met HIV leven) zich heeft gestabiliseerd en het aantal nieuwe besmettingen, voor een deel als resultaat van het effect van HIV programma is gedaald.

Nigeria rangschikt nu tweede onder naties met het grootste aantal mensen die met HIV leven (www.globalhealth.org). Nemend de optimistische rekenkunde apart, vertellen de ervaringen van gewone mensen die met HIV leven een ander verhaal. Stigma en niet het toezicht, zijn het grootste probleem.

Een 25 éénjarigenjongen van de Staat van Obosi Anambra begaat zelfmoord om aan stigma te ontsnappen, wegens in het juiste adviseren tijdens het testen die wordt opgestapeld. De privé ziekenhuizen en de laboratoria vormen een grote uitdaging in het samenpersen HIV/AIDS verwante Stigma op het plattelandsgebied van Nigeria. Niet alleen dat wat van hen bijgewerkt materiaal in diagnose hebben, zij informatie over HIV/AIDS waar door psychologisch trauma aan geen lichaam niet hebben te veroorzaken dat door hen overgaat welke aan zelfmoordopdracht zou kunnen voortvloeien.

Stigma is moeilijk te volgen en zijn effect nog moeilijker te meten. Er is een behoefte aan geproduceerde gegevens over stigma door onderzoeken aangaande HIV/AIDS kennis, houdingen en gedrag te omvatten. De algemene goedkeuring die door indicatoren zoals bereidheid wordt gemeten om voor een positieve persoon te geven of een positieve persoon, zelfs vennoot met positieve persoon goed te keuren is ook nodig.

Die kwetsbaar aan en ervaren sociale stigma en het onderscheid zal worden in verwarring gebracht als zij werden verteld dat de voorlichting en de kennis over HIV/AIDS hoger zijn dan voordien. De voorlichting vertaalt niet in tolerantie of het afwerpen van stigma.
De bescherming tegen HIV en het verhinderen van zijn verspreiding is zeker een zeer belangrijk bericht, maar de bescherming die stigma en vervreemding gebruikt zal nergens gaan. Het is altijd uitdagend om voor de wetgeving en betere beleidsresultaten te vechten. Nigeria werkt aan een wet tegen onderscheid van HIV-positive persoon. Maar de wetten en het beleid kunnen substituten voor een menselijke benadering zijn niet.

HIV/AIDS Stigma as a social process

Since the very early days of HIV, PLWHA have faced stigma and discrimination. Sometimes this is due to lack of information - flawed perceptions of risk based on ignorance of the fact that HIV is hard to catch, apart from a handful of specific - and obvious - routes of transmission.
Sadly, stigma is more than simply paucity of knowledge. Society inevitably constructs hierarchies, and unpopular illnesses like HIV provide useful markers indicating where people should be placed on the hierarchy.
All societies need to have one illness which becomes identified with evil, attaching blame to its victims. This tendency seems locked into our DNA, and is as true now as it was when people with leprosy - and leper colonies - were widespread.
Stigma is therefore founded on a fundamental social process, and has far-reaching effects - not only do PLWHA feel dirty, ashamed and guilty, but stigma has the potential to damage public-health initiatives. If affected person fear stigma, they are much less willing to attend health-centers for testing or treatment. Instead, they are often forced to inhabit a world of denial and paranoia.
The theme of World AIDS Day in 2007 is leadership. What should the priorities be in the next period in the context of HIV stigma?
First, there must be a concerted attempt to confront public discourse around HIV. Stigma - as a social product - lives and thrives within discourse.
Second, political leaders must publicly take a stand against HIV stigma, and consider the impact of public policies on attitudes. The Irish taoiseach Bertie Ahern, for example, personally launched the "stamp out stigma" campaign in the country in December 2006. With such explicit government support, and in collaboration with a range of non-governmental organizations, the campaign expects to have a significant impact on raising the profile of HIV in Ireland, and reducing negative responses to affected people.
Less helpful actions are the proposed policies of the US, China and more recently Australia in refusing entry to PLWHA, suggesting immigration policy may increasingly be influenced not just by fear of terror, but also of infection. In addition, the reluctance of senior politicians in some African countries to clarify issues around HIV and AIDS, and by implication the value of testing and treatment, sends confusing and harmful messages to a populace struggling to cope with communities devastated by HIV.
Third, all agencies engaged with HIV must appreciate that many of their interventions are predicated on a lessening of HIV stigma. The G8 pledge in 2005 aiming for universal access to HIV care and treatment for all by 2010 - also endorsed by UN member states - was clearly a significant development. But if affected people are too afraid to be tested or attend for treatment, then the goal will surely remain aspirational. Adequate funding must be made available for initiatives to address social, as well as physical, components of HIV.
HIV represents a conflation of pathology and social process, and in the final analysis, perhaps the responsibility for confronting stigma starts with ourselves. We readily categorize others according to our own interpretation of acceptability. On a personal level, the Hobbesian notion of an instinctive drive to "war against all" is never far below the surface. Once we confront our own biases, perhaps then we can better understand those of others.
World AIDS Day has come and gone, there is a need to improve awareness of local leaders and policy-makers on the multiple impacts of HIV/AIDS on our society, the economy and psychology of the elderly, let's take time to consider the effects of HIV stigma on the lived experience of people living with HIV/AIDS, and continue to demand policies and interventions from our leaders - and ourselves - that properly address its complex social features.
HIV stigma is alive and well, and as we near the beginning of the epidemic's fourth decade, many people living with HIV (PLHIV) remain marked as different - or dangerous. HIV stigma is "exceptional in its scale, its context, and its causes. Stigma hurts and imprints on the soul.
Let’s join our hand and fight stigma that surround HIV/AIDS, Let us join our hand and support People living with HIV/AIDS I our society.

Stigmate de HIV/SIDA comme processus social
Automatically translated into French thanks to WorldLingo
Le stigmate de HIV/SIDA comme processus social

depuis les jours très tôt d'HIV, PLWHA ont fait face au stigmate et à la discrimination. Parfois c'est dû au manque d'information - perceptions défectueuses de risque basées sur l'ignorance du fait qu'il est difficile d'attraper HIV, indépendamment d'une poignée de détail - et évident - des voies de la transmission.
Tristement, le stigmate est plus que simplement le manque de la connaissance. La société construit inévitablement des hiérarchies, et des maladies inpopulaires comme HIV fournissent les marqueurs utiles indiquant où les gens devraient être placés sur la hiérarchie.
Toutes les sociétés doivent avoir une maladie qui devient identifiée avec mauvais, attachant le blâme à ses victimes. Cette tendance semble verrouillée dans notre ADN, et est aussi vraie maintenant qu'il était quand les personnes avec la lèpre des colonies - et de lépreux - étaient répandues.
Le stigmate est donc fondé sur un processus social fondamental, et a des effets de grande envergure - non seulement la sensation de PLWHA sale, honteuse et coupable, mais le stigmate a le potentiel d'endommager des initiatives de public-santé. Si affecté stigmate de crainte de personne, ils sont beaucoup moins disposés à s'occuper des santé-centres pour l'essai ou le traitement. Au lieu de cela, ils sont souvent forcés d'habiter un monde de démenti et de paranoïa.
Le thème du jour de SIDA du monde en 2007 est conduite. Queest-ce que les priorités devraient être dans la période suivante dans le contexte du stigmate d'HIV ?
D'abord, il doit y a une tentative concertée de confronter le discours public autour d'HIV. Le stigmate - comme produit social - les vies et prospère dans le discours.
En second lieu, les chefs politiques doivent publiquement prendre un stand contre le stigmate d'HIV, et considèrent l'impact des ordres publics sur des attitudes. Le taoiseach irlandais Bertie Ahern, par exemple, personnellement a lancé la campagne « de stigmate de timbre dehors » dans le pays en décembre 2006. Avec un tel soutien gouvernemental explicite, et en collaboration avec une gamme des organisations nonnes gouvernemental, la campagne compte avoir un impact significatif sur soulever le profil d'HIV en Irlande, et réduire des réponses négatives aux personnes affectées.
Les actions moins utiles sont les politiques proposées des USA, Chine et plus récemment l'Australie en refusant l'entrée à PLWHA, suggérant la politique d'immigration peut de plus en plus être influencée pas simplement par la crainte de la terreur, mais également de l'infection. En outre, l'hésitation des politiciens aînés dans quelques pays africains pour clarifier des questions autour d'HIV et des SIDAS, et implicitement la valeur de l'essai et du traitement, envoie les messages embrouillants et nocifs à une foule luttant pour faire face aux communautés dévastées par HIV.
Troisièmement, toutes les agences engagées dans HIV doivent apprécier que plusieurs de leurs interventions sont affirmées sur diminuer du stigmate d'HIV. L'engagement de G8 en 2005 visant pour l'accès universel au soin d'HIV et le traitement pour tous d'ici 2010 - également approuvé par des Etats Membres de l'ONU - était clairement un développement significatif. Mais si les personnes affectées ont trop peur pour être examiné ou s'occupent pour le traitement, alors le but restera sûrement l'aspirational. À placement proportionné doit être rendu disponible pour des initiatives pour adresser social, aussi bien que l'examen médical, des composants d'HIV.
HIV représente un conflation de pathologie et de processus social, et dans l'analyse finale, peut-être la responsabilité de confronter le stigmate commence par nous-mêmes. Nous classons aisément d'autres par catégorie selon notre propre interprétation de l'acceptabilité. À un niveau personnel, la notion de Hobbesian d'une commande instinctive à la « guerre contre tous » n'est jamais lointaine au-dessous de la surface. Une fois que nous confrontons nos propres polarisations, peut-être alors nous pouvons mieux comprendre ceux de d'autres.
Le jour de SIDA du monde est venu et a disparu, il y a un besoin d'améliorer la conscience des chefs et des personnes définissant la politique locaux sur les impacts multiples du HIV/SIDA sur notre société, l'économie et la psychologie des personnes âgées, prenons du temps de considérer les effets du stigmate d'HIV sur l'expérience vécue des personnes vivant avec le HIV/SIDA, et continue à exiger les politiques et les interventions de nos chefs - et de nous-mêmes que correctement adresse ses dispositifs sociaux complexes.
Le stigmate d'HIV est vivant et bien, et comme nous nous approchons du début décennie de l'épidémie de la quatrième, beaucoup de personnes vivant avec HIV (PLHIV) restent marquées comme différentes - ou dangereux. Le stigmate d'HIV est « exceptionnel dans sa balance, son contexte, et ses causes. Maux et impressions de stigmate sur l'âme.
Joignons notre stigmate de main et de combat qui entourent le HIV/SIDA, nous a laissés joignent notre main et soutiennent des personnes vivant avec HIV/SIDA I notre société.

Estigma de HIV/AIDS como proceso social

El estigma de HIV/AIDS como proceso social

desde los días muy tempranos de VIH, PLWHA ha hecho frente al estigma y a la discriminación. Esto es a veces debido a la carencia de la información - opiniones dañadas del riesgo basadas en la ignorancia del hecho de que el VIH es duro de coger, aparte de un puñado del específico - y obvio - las rutas de la transmisión.
Tristemente, el estigma es más que simplemente la falta del conocimiento. La sociedad construye inevitable jerarquías, y enfermedades impopulares como el VIH proporciona los marcadores útiles que indican donde la gente debe ser colocada en la jerarquía.
Todas las sociedades necesitan tener una enfermedad que se identifique con malvado, uniendo culpa a sus víctimas. Esta tendencia se parece bloqueada en nuestra DNA, y es tan verdad ahora como era cuando la gente con la lepra las colonias - y del leper - era extensa.
El estigma por lo tanto se funda en un proceso social fundamental, y tiene efectos de gran envergadura - no sólo la sensación de PLWHA sucia, avergonzada y culpable, pero el estigma tiene el potencial de dañar iniciativas de la público-salud. Si es afectado estigma del miedo de la persona, están mucho menos dispuestos a atender a los salud-centros para probar o el tratamiento. En lugar, los fuerzan a menudo habitar un mundo de la negación y de la paranoia.
El tema del día del SIDA del mundo en 2007 es dirección. ¿Qué deben las prioridades ser en el período próximo en el contexto del estigma del VIH?
Primero, debe haber una tentativa concertada de enfrentar discurso público alrededor del VIH. El estigma - como producto social - las vidas y prospera dentro de discurso.
En segundo lugar, los líderes políticos deben tomar público un soporte contra el estigma del VIH, y consideran el impacto de órdenes públicos en actitudes. El taoiseach irlandés Bertie Ahern, por ejemplo, lanzó personalmente “la campaña del estigma de la estampilla hacia fuera” en el país en diciembre de 2006. Con tal ayuda de gobierno explícita, y en colaboración con una gama de organizaciones no gubernamentales, la campaña espera tener un impacto significativo en levantar el perfil del VIH en Irlanda, y la reducción de respuestas negativas a la gente afectada.
Las acciones menos provechosas son las políticas propuestas de los E.E.U.U., China y más recientemente Australia en el rechazo de la entrada a PLWHA, sugiriendo la política de la inmigración se puede influenciar cada vez más no apenas por el miedo del terror, pero también de la infección. Además, la repugnancia de políticos mayores en algunos países africanos para clarificar ediciones alrededor del VIH y de SIDA, e implícitamente el valor de la prueba y del tratamiento, envía mensajes confusos y dañosos a un populacho que lucha para hacer frente a las comunidades devastadas por el VIH.
Tercero, todas las agencias contratadas con el VIH deben apreciar que muchas de sus intervenciones están afirmadas en disminuir del estigma del VIH. El compromiso G8 en 2005 que apuntaba para el acceso universal al cuidado del VIH y el tratamiento para todos antes de 2010 - también endosado por los Estados miembro de la O.N.U - era claramente un desarrollo significativo. Pero si la gente afectada está demasiado asustado ser probado o atiende para el tratamiento, después la meta seguirá siendo seguramente el aspirational. El financiamiento adecuado se debe hacer disponible para las iniciativas para tratar social, así como la comprobación, componentes del VIH.
El VIH representa un conflation de la patología y del proceso social, y en el análisis final, quizás la responsabilidad de enfrentar el estigma comienza con nosotros mismos. Categorizamos fácilmente otros según nuestra propia interpretación de la aceptabilidad. En un nivel personal, la noción de Hobbesian de una impulsión instintiva a la “guerra contra todos” nunca es lejana debajo de la superficie. Una vez que enfrentemos nuestros propios diagonales, quizás entonces podemos entender mejor los de otros.
El día del SIDA del mundo ha venido y ha ido, hay una necesidad de mejorar el conocimiento de líderes y de regidores locales en los impactos múltiples de HIV/AIDS en nuestra sociedad, la economía y la psicología de los ancianos, nos deja tomar tiempo para considerar los efectos del estigma del VIH en la experiencia vivida de la gente que vive con HIV/AIDS, y continúa exigiendo las políticas y las intervenciones de nuestros líderes - y ourselves que correctamente dirección sus características sociales complejas.
El estigma del VIH está vivo y bien, y como acercamos al principio de la cuarta década de la epidemia, mucha gente que vive con VIH (PLHIV) sigue siendo marcada como diferente - o peligroso. El estigma del VIH es “excepcional en su escala, su contexto, y sus causas. Daños e impresiones del estigma en el alma.
Ensamblemos nuestro estigma de la mano y de la lucha que rodean HIV/AIDS, déjenos ensamblan nuestra mano y apoyan a gente que vive con HIV/AIDS I nuestra sociedad.

Stigma di HIV/AIDS come processo sociale

Lo Stigma di HIV/AIDS come processo sociale

dai giorni molto in anticipo del HIV, PLWHA ha affrontato lo stigma e la distinzione. A volte questo è dovuto mancanza di informazioni - percezioni difettose del rischio basate su ignoranza del fatto che il HIV è duro da interferire, oltre ad una manciata di specifico - ed evidente - vie di la trasmissione.
Tristemente, lo stigma è semplicemente più della scarsità di conoscenza. La società costruisce inevitabilmente le gerarchie e le malattie impopolari come il HIV fornisce gli indicatori utili che indicano dove la gente dovrebbe essere disposta sulla gerarchia.
Tutte le società devono avere una malattia che è identificata con diabolico, fissante la colpa alle relative vittime. Questa tendenza sembra locked nel nostro DNA ed è allineare ora come era quando la gente con la lebbra colonie del leper e - - era diffusa.
Lo Stigma quindi è fondato su un processo sociale fondamentale ed ha effetti ampi - non solo il tatto di PLWHA sporco, ashamed e colpevole, ma lo stigma ha il potenziale danneggiare le iniziative di pubblico-salute. Se affected stigma di timore della persona, sono molto meno disposti ad assistere ai salute-centri per la prova o il trattamento. Invece, sono costretti spesso ad abitare un mondo della smentita e del paranoia.
Il tema del giorno del AIDS del mondo in 2007 è direzione. Che cosa dovrebbero le priorità essere nel periodo prossimo nel contesto dello stigma del HIV?
In primo luogo, ci deve essere un tentativo concordato di confrontare il discorso pubblico intorno al HIV. Lo Stigma - come prodotto sociale - vite e prospera all'interno di discorso.
In secondo luogo, i capi politici devono testimoniare pubblicamente contro lo stigma del HIV e considerano l'effetto delle politiche pubbliche sugli atteggiamenti. Il taoiseach irlandese Bertie Ahern, per esempio, ha lanciato personalmente “la campagna dello stigma del bollo fuori„ nel paese nel dicembre 2006. Con tale supporto di governo esplicito ed in collaborazione con una gamma di organizzazioni non governative, la campagna pensa avere un effetto significativo sul sollevare il profilo del HIV in Irlanda e sulla riduzione delle risposte negative alla gente affected.
Le azioni meno utili sono le politiche proposte degli Stati Uniti, Cina e più recentemente l'Australia nel rifiuto dell'entrata a PLWHA, suggerente la politica di immigrazione può sempre più essere influenzata non appena da timore del terrore, ma anche dell'infezione. In più, la riluttanza dei politici maggiori in alcuni paesi africani per chiarire le edizioni intorno al HIV ed ai AIDS ed implicitamente il valore di prova e del trattamento, trasmette i messaggi confusionari e nocivi ad un populace che lotta per fare fronte alle Comunità devastanti dal HIV.
In terzo luogo, tutte le agenzie agganciate con il HIV devono apprezzare che molti dei loro interventi sono affermati su un diminuire dello stigma del HIV. L'impegno G8 in 2005 che mira all'accesso universale a cura del HIV ed al trattamento per tutti entro 2010 - anche firmato dagli Stati membri di NU - era chiaramente uno sviluppo significativo. Ma se la gente affected è troppo impaurito essere esaminato o assiste per il trattamento, quindi l'obiettivo certamente rimarrà il aspirational. Costituire un fondo per sufficiente deve essere reso disponibile per le iniziative per richiamare sociale, così come il fisico medica, i componenti del HIV.
Il HIV rappresenta un conflation di patologia e del processo sociale e nell'analisi finale, forse la responsabilità del confronto dello stigma parte con noi stessi. Categorizziamo prontamente altri secondo la nostra propria interpretazione di accettabilità. Ad un livello personale, la nozione di Hobbesian di un azionamento istintivo “alla guerra contro tutti„ non è mai lontana sotto la superficie. Una volta che confrontiamo le nostre proprie polarizzazioni, forse allora possiamo capire più meglio quelli di altri.
Il giorno del AIDS del mondo è venuto ed andato, ci è una necessità di migliorare la consapevolezza dei capi e dei politici locali sugli effetti multipli di HIV/AIDS sulla nostra società, sull'economia e sulla psicologia degli anziani, occorriamo tempo considerare gli effetti dello stigma del HIV sull'esperienza viva nella gente che vive con HIV/AIDS e continua a richiedere le politiche e gli interventi dai nostri capi - e da noi stessi che correttamente indirizzo le relative caratteristiche sociali complesse.
Lo stigma del HIV è vivo e bene e come avviciniamo l'inizio della decade di quarto dell'epidemia, molta gente che vive con il HIV (PLHIV) rimane contrassegnata come differente - o pericoloso. Lo stigma del HIV è “eccezionale nella relativa scala, nel relativo contesto e nelle relative cause. Hurts e stampe dello Stigma sull'anima.
Uniamo il nostro stigma di lotta e della mano che circonda HIV/AIDS, li ha lasciati unisce la nostra mano e sostiene la gente che vive con HIV/AIDS I la nostra società.

HIV/AIDS Schande als Sozialprozeß
Automatically translated into German thanks to WorldLingo
HIV/AIDS Schande als Sozialprozeß

seit den sehr frühen Tagen von HIV, PLWHA haben Schande und Unterscheidung gegenübergestellt. Manchmal liegt dieses passend zum Mangel an Informationen - die defekten Vorstellungen der Gefahr basiert auf Unwissenheit der Tatsache, daß HIV hart sich zu verfangen ist, abgesehen von einer Handvoll des Besonderen - und - übermittlungswege auf der Hand.
Traurig ist Schande mehr als einfach geringe Menge des Wissens. Gesellschaft konstruiert unvermeidlich Hierarchien und unpopuläre Krankheiten, wie HIV die nützlichen Markierungen liefern, die anzeigen, wo Leute auf die Hierarchie gesetzt werden sollten.
Alle Gesellschaften müssen eine Krankheit haben, die mit schlechtem gekennzeichnet wird und bringen Schuld zu seinen Opfern an. Diese Tendenz scheint in unsere DNA verschlossen, und ist jetzt so zutreffend, wie es war, als Leute mit Lepra - und Aussätzigkolonien - weitverbreitet waren.
Schande wird folglich auf einem grundlegenden Sozialprozeß gegründet und weitreichende Effekte hat - nicht nur das schmutzige, beschämte und schuldige PLWHA Gefühl, aber Schande hat das Potential, Öffentlichkeitgesundheit Initiativen zu beschädigen. Wenn betroffen Personfurcht-Schande, sind sie viel weniger bereit, sich Gesundheitmitten für die Prüfung oder Behandlung zu sorgen. Stattdessen werden sie häufig gezwungen, eine Welt der Ablehnung und des Paranoia zu bewohnen.
Das Thema des Welt-AIDS Tages 2007 ist Führung. Was sollten die Prioritäten in der folgenden Periode im Kontext der HIV Schande sein?
Zuerst muß es einen beratenen Versuch geben, allgemeine Darlegung um HIV zu konfrontieren. Schande - als Sozialprodukt - Leben und kommt innerhalb der Darlegung vorwärts.
Zweitens müssen politische Führer einen Standplatz gegen HIV Schande öffentlich nehmen und betrachten die Auswirkung der allgemeinen Politik auf Haltung. Das irische taoiseach Bertie Ahern z.B. stieß persönlich die Schande“ Kampagne „des Stempels heraus im Land im Dezember 2006 aus. Mit solcher ausdrücklicher Regierungsunterstützung und gemeinsam mit einer Strecke der nichtstaatlichen Organisationen, erwartet die Kampagne, eine bedeutende Auswirkung auf das Aufwerfen des Profils von HIV in Irland und das Verringern der negativen Antworten zu betroffenen Leuten zu haben.
Weniger nützliche Tätigkeiten sind die vorgeschlagene Politik der US, China und vor kurzem kann Australien, wenn man Eintragung zu PLWHA ablehnt und Immigrationpolitik vorschlägt, nicht gerade durch Furcht vor Terror, aber auch vor Infektion in zunehmendem Maße beeinflußt werden. Zusätzlich schickt die Abneigung der älteren Politiker in einigen afrikanischen Ländern, zum der Ausgaben um HIV und AIDS und durch Implikation zu erklären der Wert der Prüfung und der Behandlung, einer Bevölkerung die verwirrenden und schädlichen Anzeigen, die kämpft, um mit den Gemeinschaften fertig zu werden, die durch HIV verwüstet werden.
Drittens müssen alle Agenturen, die in HIV engagiert werden, schätzen, daß viele ihrer Interventionen auf einer Verminderung der HIV Schande behauptet werden. Die G8 versprechen 2005 zielend für Universalzugang zur HIV Obacht und Behandlung für alle bis zum 2010 - auch indossiert durch UNO Mitgliedsstaaten - war offenbar eine bedeutende Entwicklung. Aber, wenn betroffene Leute zu Angst haben geprüft zu werden oder für Behandlung beachten, dann das Ziel bleibt sicher aspirational. Die ausreichende Finanzierung muß zur Verfügung gestellt werden für Initiativen, um sozial, sowie Systemtest, Bestandteile von HIV zu adressieren.
HIV stellt ein conflation der Pathologie und des Sozialprozesses und in der abschließenden Analyse dar, möglicherweise beginnt die Verantwortlichkeit für das Konfrontieren von Schande mit uns selbst. Wir kategorisieren bereitwillig andere entsprechend unserer eigenen Deutung von Annehmbarkeit. Auf einem persönlichen Niveau ist der Hobbesian Begriff eines instinktiven Antriebs „zum Krieg gegen alle“ nie unterhalb der Oberfläche weit. Sobald wir unsere eigenen Vorspannungen konfrontieren, möglicherweise dann können wir die von anderen besser verstehen.
Welt-AIDS Tag ist gekommen und gegangen, gibt es eine Notwendigkeit, Bewußtsein der lokalen Führer und der maßgebenden Politiker auf den mehrfachen Auswirkungen von HIV/AIDS auf unsere Gesellschaft, die Wirtschaft und Psychologie der älteren Personen zu verbessern, lassen Sie uns Zeit dauern, die Effekte der HIV Schande auf der gelebten Erfahrung der Leute zu betrachten, die mit HIV/AIDS leben und fortfährt, politische Richtlinien zu verlangen und Interventionen von unseren Führern - und von selbst -, die adressieren diesen sind richtig, seine komplizierten Sozialeigenschaften.
HIV Schande ist und gut lebendig und wie wir dem Anfang der vierten Dekade der Epidemie uns nähern, bleiben viele Leute, die mit HIV (PLHIV) leben markiert, wie unterschiedlich - oder gefährlich. HIV Schande ist „in seiner Skala, in seinem Kontext und in seinen Ursachen aussergewöhnlich. Schandehurts und -abdrücke auf der Seele.
Unsere Hand- und Kampf-Schande verbinden, die HIV/AIDS umgeben, ließ uns verbinden unsere Hand und stützen die Leute, die mit HIV/AIDS I lassen Sie uns unsere leben, Gesellschaft.

desde os dias muito adiantados de HIV, PLWHA enfrentou o stigma e a discriminação. Às vezes isto é devido à falta da informação - percepções danificadas do risco baseadas no ignorance do fato que o HIV é duro de travar, aparte de um punhado do específico - e óbvio - rotas de transmissão.
Sadly, o stigma é mais do que simplesmente o paucity do conhecimento. A sociedade constrói inevitàvel hierarquias, e doenças unpopular como o HIV fornece os marcadores úteis que indicam onde os povos devem ser colocados na hierarquia.
Todas as sociedades necessitam ter uma doença que se torna identificada com evil, unindo a culpa a suas vítimas. Esta tendência parece locked em nosso DNA, e é tão verdadeira agora como era quando os povos com leprosy colônias - e do leper - eram difundidos.
O Stigma é fundado conseqüentemente em um processo social fundamental, e tem efeitos far-reaching - não somente fazer a sensação de PLWHA suja, ashamed e culpada, mas o stigma tem o potencial danificar iniciativas da público-saúde. Se afetado stigma do medo da pessoa, são muito mais menos dispostos atender a saúde-centros para testar ou tratamento. Instead, são forçados frequentemente a habitar um mundo da negação e do paranoia.
O tema do dia do AIDS do mundo em 2007 é liderança. Que devem as prioridades ser no período seguinte no contexto do stigma do HIV?
Primeiramente, deve haver uma tentativa concerted de confrontar o discurso público em torno do HIV. O Stigma - como um produto social - vidas e prospera dentro do discurso.
Em segundo, os líderes políticos devem publicamente fazer exame de um carrinho de encontro ao stigma do HIV, e consideram o impacto de políticas públicas em atitudes. O taoiseach Irish Bertie Ahern, por exemplo, lançou pessoalmente do “a campanha do stigma selo para fora” no país em dezembro 2006. Com tal sustentação de governo explícita, e na colaboração com uma escala de organizações non-governmental, a campanha espera ter um impacto significativo em levantar o perfil do HIV em Ireland, e em reduzir respostas negativas aos povos afetados.
As ações mais menos úteis são as políticas propostas dos E.U., China e mais recentemente Austrália em recusar a entrada a PLWHA, sugerindo a política do immigration pode cada vez mais ser influenciada não apenas pelo medo do terror, mas também da infecção. Além, a relutância de políticos sênior em alguns países africanos para esclarecer edições em torno do HIV e dos AIDS, e pela implicação o valor de testar e de tratamento, emite mensagens desconcertantes e prejudiciais a um populace que esforça-se para lidar com as comunidades devastated pelo HIV.
Em terceiro lugar, todas as agências acopladas com HIV devem apreciar que muitas de suas intervenções estão predicadas em diminuir do stigma do HIV. O pledge G8 em 2005 que apontam para o acesso universal ao cuidado do HIV e o tratamento para tudo por 2010 - endossado também por estados de membro dos UN - era claramente um desenvolvimento significativo. Mas se os povos afetados estiverem demasiado receoso ser testado ou atenderem para o tratamento, a seguir o objetivo remanescerá certamente o aspirational. Financiar adequado deve ser feito disponível para iniciativas para dirigir-se social, as well as o exame, a componentes do HIV.
O HIV representa um conflation do pathology e do processo social, e na análise final, talvez a responsabilidade para confrontar o stigma começa com nos. Nós categorizamos prontamente outros de acordo com nossa própria interpretação do acceptability. Em um nível pessoal, a noção de Hobbesian de uma movimentação instintiva à “guerra de encontro a tudo” é nunca distante abaixo da superfície. Uma vez que nós confrontamos nossas próprias polarizações, talvez então nós podemos mais melhor compreender aqueles de outros.
O dia do AIDS do mundo veio e foi, há uma necessidade melhorar a consciência de líderes e de policy-makers locais nos impactos múltiplos de HIV/AIDS em nossa sociedade, na economia e no psychology das pessoas idosas, vamos fazer exame do tempo considerar os efeitos do stigma do HIV na experiência vivida dos povos que vivem com HIV/AIDS, e continua a exijir as políticas e as intervenções de nossos líderes - e de ourselves que corretamente endereço suas características sociais complexas.
O stigma do HIV está vivo e bem, e como nós aproximamos o começo década da epidemia da quarta, muitos povos que vivem com HIV (PLHIV) remanescem marcados como diferentes - ou perigoso. O stigma do HIV é “excepcional em sua escala, em seu contexto, e em suas causas. Hurts e imprints do Stigma na alma.
Vamos juntar nosso stigma da mão e da luta que cerca HIV/AIDS, deixou-nos junta nossa mão e suporta os povos que vivem com HIV/AIDS I nossa sociedade.

HIV-/AIDSStigma som ett processaa samkväm

HIV-/AIDSStigma som ett samkväm som är processaa

efter de very tidig sortdagarna av HIV, PLWHA har vänt mot stigma och diskriminering. Ibland är detta tack vare brist av information - defekta föreställningar av riskera baserat på okunnighet av faktumet, att HIV är hård att fånga, frånsett en handfullnärmare detalj - och tydligt - ruttar av överföringen.
SAD är stigma mer än enkelt paucity av kunskap. För samhälle tankeskapelsehierarkier oundvikligen och lik HIV för impopulära illnesses ger användbara markörer som indikerar var folket bör förläggas på hierarkin.
Alla samhällen behöver att ha en sjuka, som blir identifierad med ont som fäster klander till dess offer. Denna tendens verkar låst in i vår DNA och är så riktig nu, som det var när folket med spetälska - och spetälskkolonier - var utbrett.
Stigma grundas därför på ett processaa grundsamkväm och har långtgående verkställer - inte endast att göra PLWHA-känselförnimmelse smutsa ner, skamset och skyldigt, utan stigma har det potentiellt som skadar allmänhet-vård- insatser. Om upprört personskräckstigma, är de mycket mindre villiga att delta i vård--centrerar för att testa eller behandling. I stället tvingas de ofta för att bebo en värld av förnekandet och paranoia.
Temat av världen BISTÅR dag i 2007 är ledarskap. Vad bör prioriteterna vara i den nästa perioden i sammanhanget av HIV-stigma?
Först måste det finnas ett avtalat försök att konfrontera offentlig diskurs runt om HIV. Stigma - som en social produkt - liv och blomstrar inom diskurs.
Understödja, måste betraktar politisk ledare publicly ta ett stativ mot HIV-stigma och få effekt av offentlig policy på inställningar. Den irländska taoiseachen Bertie Ahern, till exempel, lanserade personligen den stigma” aktionen ”för stämpeln ut i landet i December 2006. Med sådan explicit regerings- service och i samarbete med en spänna av non-governmental organisationar, förväntar aktionen att ha viktiga att få effekt på att lyfta profilera av HIV i Irland och förminskande negationsvar till upprört folk.
Mindre hjälpsamma handlingar är den föreslagna politiken av USEN, Kina, och för en tid sedan kan Australien, i att vägra tillträdeet till PLWHA som föreslår invandringpolitik, mer och mer påverkas inte precis av skräck av skräcken, men också av infektion. I tillägg utfärdar BISTÅR motvilligheten av höga politikar i några afrikanska länder som ska klargöras, runt om HIV och, och vid implikation värdera av att testa och behandling, överför confusing och skadliga meddelanden till en populace som kämpar till korkåpan med gemenskaper som skövlas av HIV.
Third måste alla byråer som är förlovade med HIV uppskatta att många av deras ingripanden baseras på en förminskning av HIV-stigma. Löftet G8 i 2005 som siktar för universal, tar fram till HIV-omsorg, och behandling för alla vid 2010 - också signerat av UN-medlemmen påstår - var klart en viktig utveckling. Men, om det upprörda folket är för rädd att testas eller deltar i för behandling, då det ska målet återstår säkert aspirationalen. Den adekvat finansieringen måste göras tillgänglig för insatser att tilltala samkväm, as well as läkarundersökning, delar av HIV.
HIV föreställer en conflation av det processaa patologi och samkvämet, och i finalanalysen, kanske startar ansvaret för att konfrontera stigma med oss själva. Vi kategoriserar klart andra enligt vår egna tolkning av acceptability. På ett personligt jämnt kriger den Hobbesian aningen av ett instinktivt drev till ”mot alla” är aldrig avlägset nedanfört ytbehandla. När vi konfronterar våra egna snedheter, kanske därefter kan vi förbättra förstår de av andra.
Världen BISTÅR dag har kommit och väck, finns det ett behov att förbättra medvetenhet av lokalledare, och policy-makers på multipeln får effekt av HIV/AIDS på vårt samhälle, ekonomin och psykologi av åldringen, låt oss ta tid att betrakta verkställer av HIV som stigma på bodd erfar av folk som bor med HIV/AIDS och fortsätter för att begära politik och ingripanden från våra ledare - och oss själva - som tilltalar riktigt dess komplexa sociala särdrag.
Hiv-stigma är vid liv och väl och som oss near början av epidemi fjärde årtionde, bemannar många uppehälle med HIV (PLHIV) återstår markerade som olikt - eller farligt. Hiv-stigma är ”ovanlig i dess fjäll, dess sammanhang, och dess orsakar. Stigmamen och imprints på soulen.
Låt oss sammanfoga våra räcker och slåss stigma, som omger HIV/AIDS, låt oss sammanfogar vårt räcker och stöttar folk som bor med HIV/AIDS I vårt samhälle.

HIV/AIDS Stigma как социальный процесс

HIV/AIDS Stigma как социальный процесс

с очень предыдущих дней HIV, PLWHA смотрели на stigma и различение. Иногда это из-за отсутствия данных - flawed воспринятия риска основанные на незнании факта что HIV трудн для того чтобы уловить, отдельно от пригорошни специфического - и очевидно - трассы передачи.
Уныло, stigma больше чем просто paucity знания. Общество неизбежно строит иерархии, и непопулярные болезни как HIV обеспечивает полезные отметки показывая где люди должны быть помещены на иерархии.
Всем обществам нужно иметь одну болезнь будет определенной с злейшим, прикрепляя поричание к своим жертвам. Эта тенденция кажется locked в наше ДНАО, и как поистине теперь по мере того как она была когда люди с проказой колонии - и leper - были widespread.
Stigma поэтому основано на основном социальном процессе, и имеет далеко идущие серьезные последствия - not only делает чывство PLWHA пакостное, ashamed и виновное, но stigma имеет потенциал повредить инициативы публик-здоровья. Если affected stigma страха персоны, они очень более менее охотно готовы присутствовать на здоровь-центрах для испытывать или обработки. Вместо, они часто принуждаются обитать в мире запирательства и паранойи.
Темой дня AIDS мира в 2007 будет водительство. Должны приоритеты быть в следующем периоде в смысле stigma HIV?
Во первых, должно быть договоренная попытка confront общественный discourse вокруг HIV. Stigma - как общественный продукт - жизни и thrives в пределах discourse.
Во-вторых, политические руководители должны общественно принять стойку против stigma HIV, и рассматривают удар общественных правил на ориентациях. Ирландское taoiseach Bertie Ahern, например, лично запустило «кампанию stigma штемпеля вне» в стране в декабре 2006. С такой точной поддержкой правительства, и in collaboration with ряд неправительственных организации, кампания рассчитывает иметь значительно удар на поднимать профиль HIV в Ирландии, и уменьшении негативных откликов к affected людям.
Более менее полезными действиями будут предложенные политики США, Китая и недавн Австралия в отказывать вход к PLWHA, предлагая иммиграционную политику может все больше и больше быть повлияна на как раз страхом террора, но также инфекции. In addition, магнитное сопротивление старших политиканов в некоторых африканских странах для того чтобы уточюнить вопросы вокруг HIV и AIDS, и by implication значение испытывать и обработки, посылает confusing и вредные сообщения к populace борясь для того чтобы справиться при общины опустошенные HIV.
В-третьих, все агенства включенные с HIV должны appreciate что много из их интервенций predicated на lessening stigma HIV. Pledge G8 в 2005 направляя для всеобщего доступа к внимательности HIV и обработки для всех к 2010 - также завизировано статусами члена ООН - был ясно значительныа совершенствования. Но если affected люди слишком испуганными быть испытанным или присутствуют на для обработки, то цель уверенно останет aspirational. Подходящий фондировать необходимо сделать имеющеся для инициатив для того чтобы адресовать социально, также, как материальне, компоненты HIV.
HIV представляет conflation патологии и социального процесса, и в окончательном анализе, возможно ответственность для confronting stigma начинает с собой. Мы готово классифицируем другие согласно нашему собственному толкованию приемлемости. На личном уровне, придумка Hobbesian инстинктивного привода к «войне против всех» никогда далека под поверхностью. Как только мы confront наши собственные смещения, возможно после этого мы можем более лучше понять то из других.
День AIDS мира приходил и шел, будет потребность улучшить осведомленность местных руководителей и policy-makers на множественных ударах HIV/AIDS на нашем обществе, экономии и психологии пожилых людей, препятствует нам принять время рассматривать влияния stigma HIV на ом опыте людей живя с HIV/AIDS, и продолжает потребовать политикам себя и интервенциям от наших руководителей - и что правильн адрес свои сложные социальные характеристики.
Stigma HIV живо и наилучшим образом, и как мы почти начало декады эпидемии четвертой, много людей живя с HIV (PLHIV) остают маркированными как по-разному - или опасно. Stigma HIV «исключительнейше в своем маштабе, своем смысле, и своих причинах. Повреждения и отпечатки Stigma на душе.
Препятствуйте нам соединить наше stigma руки и драки окружают HIV/AIDS, препятствуйте нам соедините нашу руку и поддержите людей живя с HIV/AIDS iим наше общество.

HIV/AIDS Stigma als sociaal proces

HIV/AIDS Stigma als sociaal proces

vanaf het begin van HIV, PLWHA heeft stigma en onderscheid onder ogen gezien. Soms is dit wegens gebrek aan informatie - ontsierde waarnemingen van risico die op onwetendheid van het feit dat HIV moeilijk is te vangen worden gebaseerd, behalve een handvol van specifiek - en duidelijk - routes van transmissie.
Droevig, is stigma meer dan eenvoudig gebrek van kennis. De maatschappij construeert onvermijdelijk hiërarchieën, en de impopulaire ziekten zoals HIV verstrekken nuttige tellers erop wijzen die waar de mensen op de hiërarchie zouden moeten worden geplaatst.
Alle maatschappijen moeten één ziekte hebben die met kwaad geïdentificeerdf wordt, dat schuld vastmaakt aan zijn slachtoffers. Deze tendens schijnt gesloten in onze DNA, en is zo nu waar aangezien het was toen de mensen met melaatsheid - en leper kolonies - wijdverspreid waren.
Stigma wordt daarom gebaseerd op een fundamenteel sociaal proces, en heeft verreikende gevolgen - niet alleen PLWHA doen voel vuil, beschaamd en schuldig, maar stigma heeft het potentieel om openbaar-gezondheidsinitiatieven te beschadigen. Indien beïnvloed stigma van de persoonsvrees, zijn zij veel minder bereid om gezondheid-centra voor het testen of behandeling bij te wonen. In plaats daarvan, worden zij vaak gedwongen om in een wereld van ontkenning en paranoia te wonen.
Het thema van de Dag van AIDS van de Wereld in 2007 is leiding. Wat zouden de prioriteiten tijdens de volgende periode in de context van HIV stigma moeten zijn?
Eerst, moet er een gezamenlijke poging zijn om openbare verhandeling rond HIV te confronteren. Stigma - als sociaal product - het leven en bloeit binnen verhandeling.
Ten tweede, moeten de politieke leiders een tribune openbaar nemen tegen HIV stigma, en het effect overwegen van openbaar beleid op houdingen. Ierse taoiseach Bertie Ahern, bijvoorbeeld, lanceerde uit persoonlijk de „zegelstigma“ campagne in het land in December 2006. Met dergelijke expliciete overheidssteun, en in samenwerking met een waaier van niet-gouvernementele organisaties, denkt de campagne om een significante invloed te hebben op het opheffen van het profiel van HIV in Ierland, en het verminderen van negatieve reacties op beïnvloede mensen.
De minder nuttige acties zijn het voorgestelde beleid van de V.S., China en meer onlangs kan Australië in het weigeren van ingang aan PLWHA, die immigratiebeleid voorstelt meer en meer niet alleen door vrees voor verschrikking, maar ook voor besmetting worden beïnvloed. Bovendien verzendt de tegenzin van hogere politici in sommige Afrikaanse landen om kwesties rond HIV en AIDS, en als voortvloeisel de waarde van het testen en behandeling te verduidelijken, het verwarren en schadelijke berichten naar populace die aan gemeenschappen worstelt het hoofd te bieden die door HIV worden verwoest.
Ten derde, moeten alle agentschappen bezet met HIV waarderen dat veel van hun acties op het verminderen van HIV stigma worden beweerd. De G8 belofte die in 2005 naar universele toegang tot HIV zorg en behandeling voor allen tegen 2010 streeft - ook onderschreven door de lidstaten van de V.N. - was duidelijk een significante ontwikkeling. Maar indien de beïnvloede mensen te bang om voor behandeling zijn worden getest of aanwezig te zijn, dan zal het doel zeker aspirational blijven. De adequate financiering moet voor initiatieven worden ter beschikking gesteld om sociaal, evenals fysiek te richten, componenten van HIV.
HIV vertegenwoordigt een conflation van pathologie en sociaal proces, en in de definitieve analyse, misschien de verantwoordelijkheid om stigma begin met ons te confronteren. Wij categoriseren gemakkelijk anderen volgens onze eigen interpretatie van aanvaardbaarheid. Voor een persoonlijk niveau, is het begrip Hobbesian van een instinctieve aandrijving aan „oorlog tegen allen“ nooit ver onder de oppervlakte. Zodra wij onze eigen biases confronteren, misschien dan kunnen wij die van anderen beter begrijpen.
De Dag van AIDS van de wereld is gekomen en gegaan, is er een behoefte om voorlichting van lokale leiders te verbeteren en de beleidsvormers op de veelvoudige effecten van HIV/AIDS op onze maatschappij, economie en de psychologie van de bejaarden, vergen tijd om de gevolgen te overwegen van HIV stigma voor de geleefde ervaring van mensen die met HIV/AIDS leven, en te blijven beleid en acties van onze leiders - en zelf eisen - die behoorlijk zijn complexe sociale eigenschappen richten.
HIV stigma is in leven en goed, en aangezien wij het begin van het vierde decennium van de epidemie naderen, blijven vele mensen die met HIV (PLHIV) leven duidelijk verschillend - of gevaarlijk. HIV stigma is uitzonderlijk „in zijn schaal, zijn context, en zijn oorzaken. Stigma kwetst en stempelt op de ziel.
Sluit me aan bij onze hand en bestrijd stigma die HIV/AIDS omringt, ons bij onze hand aansluiten en Mensen steunen die met HIV/AIDS I leven onze maatschappij.

بحزن, [ستيغما] أكثر من ببساطة قلة المعرفة. يبني مجتمعة حتميّا تدرج, و [إيلّنسّس] غيرشعبيّ مثل [هيف] يزوّد علامات مفيدة يشير حيث الناس سوفت كنت وضعت على التدرج.
يحتاج كلّ مجتمعات أن يتلقّى واحدة علة أيّ يصبح يعيّن مع شرّيرة, يربط لوم إلى ضحاياه. يبدو هذا نزعة مقفلة داخل [دنا] نا, ومثل صحّ الآن بما أنّ هو كان عندما الناس مع مرض جذام - و [لبر] مستعمرات - كانوا واسع انتشار.

“My own father gave me HIV”


ADDIS ABABA, Selam Tesfaye was born and raised in Mekele, northern Ethiopia. At the age of 13 she was raped by her father, who also infected her with HIV. This is her story.

"When my parents divorced I was very little and I had to stay with my mother and my two sisters. We were living a good life until my mother died and we had to move to our aunt's house. My father then came to my aunt and said we should all move back with him. That was when my life turned upside down.

"One night I had a stomach-ache and went to my father for help. He gave me an injection, saying that it would relieve the pain. Shortly
Afterwards I felt dizzy and become unconscious. The next day I woke up very sick and when I tried to go to the bathroom to urinate discovered that I had been raped.

"My father also openly admitted that he raped me. I ran away from home and went back to my aunt, but I was too shy and ashamed to tell her what my father had done to me. She said I should go back to my father because she was worried that he would accuse her of abduction.

"I was forced to go back to my father's house, and later found out that my older sister has been continuously raped by my father and had even aborted three times.

"That was when I decided to break this cycle of abuse in our family and spoke boldly to the police about what my father did. He was put in prison for a brief period and released on bail.

"After he was released, news of his HIV status reached me, but I could not confirm the story as I had moved in with my aunt again. I was not aware of my own HIV status until I had a disagreement with my cousin and she said that I had AIDS. I was devastated, because even if I was aware that my father had the virus, I did not know that he had given it to me.
"After I confirmed I had the virus, I isolated myself from the family and friends. My aunt gave me a separate plate to use for food; nobody even touched the food I ate or the clothes I wore for fear of the virus. My aunt accused me of promiscuity, as if I slept around to get the disease.
"The conflict at home worsened when I went on national television and told my story about the virus, to teach young people. My aunt became violent because I had not consulted her about my decision in advance; I left her house and started living alone.
"Currently, an NGO that is helping people with HIV is providing me with financial and emotional support. I am now at peace with myself and with the virus; I have come into contact with male and female friends who are kind and supportive."

Her experience replicates those of millions of girls across many parts of the world. Unfortunately, rather than take measures to help cope with the trauma of rape and HIV infection, they are stigmatized by the people and the system that left them vulnerable in the first place.

Too many people die simply for lack of access to the knowledge that can save their lives. This knowledge exists; however it remains inaccessible to those who need it the most. Access to health information is an integral part of all health systems because it can improve people's health
The media needs to do more to tackle the stigma and discrimination of HIV/AIDS in the rural parts of Nigeria. HIV intervention and media's coverage of HIV/AIDS tends to focus on urban area of the country without minding what the Virus is doing in the villages and the effect of the disease has on vulnerable and helpless people that reside in the rural area of our society and also our agriculture because food production is from this rural populace.
I believe that media can help change this situation by presenting facts about the disease and its effect in our rural communities, by featuring stories of people living with HIV/AIDS in the rural area and highlighting support services also available in these communities.
Thousands of people are dying in the rural area of Nigeria without knowing the cause of there death. Majority of the cases where believe that they die of poising. 90% of people living in the rural area did not know there status, because they did not have access to VCT those who have access to VCT did not have access to treatment where by increasing stigma and discrimination.
It is crucial that we tackle HIV stigma, which impacts on the lives of people living with HIV, was very deplorable in the rural area and prevents people from coming forward to be tested. The media can play a vital role in presenting accurate information about HIV and challenging discrimination against those living with it in the rural area.
I also call on development partners, donor agencies, and organised private sector, politicians and decision makers to start encouraging organisations working in the rural area.
As part of the awareness campaign, care and support, Health Link Organization is delivering adherence treatment counselling, nutritional support, community dialogue on stigma reduction and training to PLWHA, PABA and O.VC.

I wish to use this opportunity to thank NEPWHAN and ARFH for this wonderful opportunity giving to health Link Organization Ekwulobia to prove what they can do in HIV interventions under global fund project Round 5.Lives of PLWHA where gradually improving trough this grass root intervention.

MAN DIE OF AIDS AS A RESULT OF STIGMA

After twelve years of living with HIV, I'm only realizing now that I am one of the few people to count themselves lucky due to the support, care and love I received from my family and friends

A man, die of AIDS after the family abandoned him at the hospital
The man tested positive to HIV 1&2 at Aba, Abia State in the year 2006 and went on to take herbal concoction, after taking herbal concoction for more than six months, He became very sick and was referred to Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi (NAUTH) from there he was referred to join Support Group of People Living With HIV/AIDS in Ekwulobia (Health Link Organization). The man joined the group and was placed on ARV after undergoing series of test not knowing that the Herbal concoction he took in the past has destroyed his body system.
His illness got worsens and his family abandoned him to die since they are aware of his status. His elder sister took him to her family where she cared for him for one week and decides taking him back to their parents who refused to accept him back.

With financial assistance and commitment of Health Link Organization, he was admitted in a private hospital at Ekwulobia. None of the family members cared to look after him even while he was in the hospital. The doctor discharged him and he died two days after he was discharged from the hospital. When he was discharged, the family members do not want to touch him. It was the Coordinator of Health Link Organization and some members of the Organization that came and assists him to enter the vehicle.

What shall we say, what hope is there for the future of people living with HIV in the rural communities? Life with HIV can be as normal as life without HIV. We all have a role to play in spreading the word. Stigma and discrimination pose major barriers to controlling the spread of HIV in the rural area. There is acceptance of the virus at the highest level in urban cities, lots needs to be done to make it (the disease) acceptable in the society especially in the rural areas, which is still in a denial mode. We need to step up the level of awareness about HIV/AIDS and make sure we are able to deal with it more like a public health issue. Undoubtedly, information is readily available to all of us, but until it reaches the hearts and minds of people and until we move to support CSOs working in the rural communities so as to bring about a change in behaviors in these rural communities, the stigma and discrimination will continue to fester.
Hearing and knowing is one thing, but feeling it is something else. Often we do not understand what someone is going through until the shoe is on our foot and that need not be. Perhaps, if we all open our minds, hearts and accept PLWHA, not just letting the information being disseminated come through one ear and go through the other, but listen, ponder and embrace it, then compassion would come much easier.
Let us joins our hand and support people living with HIV and AIDS in our country let us look down to the rural populace, let us support CSOs working in the rural area,
Together we will win.

The challenges that we young people are facing today are formidable, over 500 million people ages between 15 and 24 are living below the poverty line (less than $2.00 per day). 6,000 young people are infected with HIV daily And 1,500 women most of whom under 24 years die everyday as a result of Early pregnancy or childbirth World Population Report 2005 indicates That almost a quarter of all individuals living with HIV/AIDS are young People, yet they represent half of all new HIV infection cases. 63% of those infected with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa in 2003 were between the ages of 15 and 24

HOW do we fight the stigma and discrimination that has become synonymous with HIV/AIDS and young women? How do we achieve universal access? Young women are biologically more prone to HIV infection than men and that the younger they are the greater is their risk of acquiring the virus, nothing that the risk is greater in young women aged between 15 and 24 years.

The prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is about 4.4% translating to over 3.5 million people. The highest rate (5.6%) of infection is among young people aged 20-29 years. Despite progress in expanding prevention and treatment in the country, only 20% of males and 10 % of females between the ages 14 -25 can correctly identify ways of preventing HIV transmission. 1,200 young people in Nigeria got infected with HIV every day, which shows that one person per minute. World Population Report 2005 indicates Youth even though are important segment of our society lack the necessary information, skills and services that are needed to prevent themselves from contracting the Virus yet the scourge is the scourge of our time.

The issue of youths participation in the control of HIV/AIDS has suffered set back. Since the formation of Youth network on HIV/AIDS (NYNETHA) and Association of Positive Youths in Nigeria (APYIN). The two networks that is youths focus mainly for HIV/AIDS in Nigeria have never received any financial support to address the spread of the Virus among youth.

I am of the opinion that it is essential that top political leadership and ministerial officials should become more directly engaged in trying to control HIV/AIDS, in resolving difficult and enduring policy issues and in directing a truly multi-sector approach.
Nigeria will have to overcome significant barriers such as pervasive stigma and discrimination, youth involvement both in planning and implementation and meaningful involvement of PLWHA.

As we are entering into new political era, only high-level national leadership, Greater involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS and Youth participation can effectively confront the deep stigma and discrimination that surrounds HIV/AIDS and the high-risk behaviors at the center of the epidemic. Youth are critical stakeholders in development processes and in the control of HIV/AIDS, we need to be heard and support.
This will start to break down the stigma and discrimination barriers that exist, and also provide a way for zero tolerance in our Country.

Media is a better placed to help demystify the HIV/AIDS epidemic by dispel misconceptions that often lead to stigma and discrimination of People Living with HIV/AIDS in our Country.

"STOP AIDS, KEEP THE PROMISE-ONE WEEK, ONE VOICE" theme of global week on HIV/AIDS have come and gone, let it be the opportunity of stakeholders for an over all assessment of the success attained over the year under review with regards the campaign against the HIV/AIDS, and to re-align their strategies for the future.
"Stop AIDS Keep the promise" theme adopted in 2001, came after a review of the Declaration of Commitment in the campaign against HIV/AIDS by all countries of the world including NigeriaThe prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is about 4.4% translating to over 3.5 million people. The highest rate (5.6%) of infection is among young people aged 20-29 years. Despite progress in expanding prevention and treatment in the country, only 20% of males and 10 % of females between the ages 14 and 25 can correctly identify ways of preventing HIV transmission.

Only 30% of HIV positive pregnant women in the country are receiving Anti Retroviral Treatment (ART), free less than 10% of the population of People Living with HIV/AIDS has had access to free treatment without one problem or another
So call Federal Government Drug is no longer available, the one that is available has expired. They are now migrating people who are on government to PEPFAR.
The question is if PEPFAR stop now what is the fate of people on drug already? "Are we keeping our promises?" I asked, we know what works and we need to find out why programmes that work have not been implemented in the light of universal access. Leaders across the board, including civil society organizations (CSOs) should be aware that the public and the world are watching which is why we must be very serious about the promises we have pledged ourselves to keep.
Promise of treating (250,000) PLWHA by 2005, care and support for PLWHA, promise of greater involvement of PLWHA, promise of youth participation and other promises.
Progress in the attainment of these promises is being monitored around the world which, imply that leaders need to speak out and show more commitment.
It is in this regard that the media comes in as a strong partner in the health development of the country as well as a contributing factor in the spread of essential health messages to the general population.


The will and commitment of leaders across the spectrum including those at the highest level have been pivotal in countries experiencing a decline in the HIV prevalence rate.

Journalists should keep to their promises by getting more involved in "a positive way" and know the terms they will be using that are not stigmatized. Opinion leaders and media houses should devote time for HIV/AIDS activities free of charge. The role and contribution of journalists and the media is critical in this national campaign against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Let us take the advantage of the free Voluntary Confidential and Counseling Testing opportunities provided across the country, it is a key entry point for individuals and their families to know their HIV status. For universal access to be achieved, many people will need to have access to prevention, treatment and care services as they relate to HIV.
Testing and Counseling, are closely linked to prevention, treatment and care, the success of which, must be accompanied by concerted efforts aimed at increasing the demands for these facilities especially in communities that are most at risk.

Confidentiality and human rights as well as stigmatization and discrimination and the disclosure of the status of persons are major conditions that need to be protected since they are causes of people’s non-compliance. HIV/AIDS treatment and care programmes include nutritional support is a core intervention mechanism. Adequate nutrition is essential to the maintenance of the immune system and ensuring optimal benefits from the use of anti-retroviral therapy and other medicines.
There is need to have budget for nutritional support for Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (NEPWHAN) for the support group that make up the Network

President Bush in his State of the Union Address on Tuesday called on Congress to continue funding programs for overseas HIV/AIDS and malaria initiatives, the Wall Street Journal reports (McKinnon et al., Wall Street Journal, 1/24). "We hear the call to take on the challenges of hunger, poverty and disease," Bush said, adding, "We must continue to fight HIV/AIDS, especially on the continent of Africa" (AP/Santa Fe New Mexican, 1/23). Bush said that the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief has helped increase the number of people worldwide with access to antiretroviral drugs from 50,000 to more than 800,000 in three years, adding that Congress should continue to provide funding for U.S. HIV/AIDS efforts. He also urged Congress to provide $1.2 billion over five years to the President's Malaria Initiative, which aims to combat the disease in 15 African countries. In addition, Bush called on Congress to provide funding for the Millennium Challenge Account, a program aimed at encouraging economic and political reforms in developing countries, as well as to support expanded trade and debt relief efforts (Speech text, 1/23).

Reaction
Bill Clapp, co-founder of the Initiative for Global Development, said that Bush deserves credit for showing a "strong interest in health-related issues" during his speech. "Our reputation abroad was somewhat at risk," Clapp said, adding, "The United States doesn't want to be known as a warrior; it wants to be known as a beacon of light in the world" (Heim/Doughton, Seattle Times, 1/24). Although Bush is "right to point out the contribution the United States has made to the fight against global HIV/AIDS," the "U.S. effort must be part of a global response aimed at reaching specific goals," Executive Director of the Global AIDS Alliance Paul Zeitz said. Bush "has not mapped out a strategy to leverage a global response that would put this goal within reach," Zeitz added (GAA release, 1/23). Bush in his speech "failed to address the domestic HIV epidemic," a release by AIDS Action Council said, adding, "In particular, the president failed to call upon lawmakers to prioritize the needs of people living with HIV by making lifesaving drugs and medical treatment available to all who are HIV infected, nor did he highlight the importance of HIV prevention" (AAC release, 1/23). Jack Valenti, president of Friends of the Global Fight, said that global HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis programs -- as well as the U.S. contribution to the Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria -- are "saving the lives of millions of children and families around the world." Valenti added that he is "hopeful that these programs will continue to be a vital priority in the new Congress, and that we as a country maintain our commitment to those, mostly children, who will die without this vital support" (Friends of the Global Fight release, 1/23).

What is more worrying is that ignorance and prejudice are continuing to fuel the spread of AIDS, says the Malaysian AIDS Foundation (MAF).

"People with HIV/AIDS are not just drug addicts and prostitutes. Housewives, children and mothers have the virus as well. We must get rid of the stigma associated with AIDS," said MAF trustee Datuk Mohd Zaman Khan.

He added the public should sympathise with HIV/AIDS sufferers and accept them into the community instead of avoiding them.

Mohd Zaman was speaking to newsmen at a cheque presentation ceremony for the Hope Campaign yesterday.

The campaign, with the slogan "Think not of charity, but of giving hope", was held by the Renaissance Group of Hotels from September to December last year. It raised RM45,000, which was presented to MAF yesterday.

Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel general manager Robert Frager said besides collecting donations, the hotel also sold MAF merchandise to raise funds for the campaign.

"This is the second year we are supporting the MAF. We wanted to create awareness and spread the message to hotel guests and their associates to spare a thought for HIV/AIDS sufferers," he said.

Nhan Dan Online) The minor project called “Support to the Voice of Vietnam in producing and broadcasting an entertainment-education radio programme for positive behaviour change on HIV/AIDS Prevention” is supported by the Danish International Development Agency with US $770,000. The Long-term objective is to contribute to improving the quality of life for the Vietnamese people through improved quality of and access to reproductive health services.
This new minor DANIDA-project in co-operation with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will support information for the Vietnamese people, especially young people. This will be done through strengthening the capacity of the Voice of Vietnam radio (VOV) in producing and broadcasting an entertainment programme for behaviour change on HIV/AIDS prevention.
This is the second project funded by DANIDA to support the VOV in broadcasting an education/counselling programme on reproductive health for young people. The former project with VOV was to broadcast a phone-in radio programme called “Window of Love”. This programme was well received by young listeners and the government officers.
The lack of awareness and inappropriate understanding of HIV/AIDS are the main factors that contribute to stigma and discrimination of people infected with HIV/AIDS in Vietnam. Vietnam’s mass media organisations (radio, television, print newspapers, online newspapers, films, etc) have made active contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS through long-standing and systematic campaigns.
This project will use a serialised radio drama to improve the awareness and change behaviour towards healthy behaviours for HIV/AIDS prevention, especially focusing on stigma and discrimination reduction.
After the signing ceremony on 24 January 2007, the project will be officially implemented to December 2009, as a serialised radio drama of 104 episodes, following the entertainment-education methodology pioneered by Miguel Sabido of Mexico.
There is ample evidence from Sabido style serial dramas of their effectiveness in changing behaviour with regard to HIV prevention and stigma reductions in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The reasons for its effectiveness include the high entertainment value that attracts large audiences, the emotional content of the dramas that improves retention of the information learned, and the use of role modelling rather than the messages as a way to influence audience behaviour.
The radio soap opera in Vietnamese on VOV will cater to listeners in all 64 provinces and cities and will be transcript into Khmer, Mong and Thai language to serve ethnic listeners in various provinces including those living in border areas.

New York — Proposals to accelerate the development of tuberculosis
(TB) drugs were outlined today at the conclusion of a two-day symposium
titled "No Time to Wait," convened in New York this week by the
international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without
Borders/Médecins Sans Frontires (MSF) with the support of Howard P. Milstein and
Weill Cornell Medical College's Abby and Howard P. Milstein Program in
Chemical Biology. The symposium brought together more than 100 TB
specialists, drug developers and regulators, policy makers, donors and activists
to outline practical proposals to fill the gaps in TB drug research and
development (R&D).

"We are failing people with TB," said Dr. Tido von Schoen-Angerer,
Director of MSF's Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines. "Diagnosing
and treating TB is one of the greatest challenges facing health care
providers around the world. Things are going from bad to worse with
multi-drug resistant TB and even extensively drug resistant (XDR) TB,
particularly in settings with high HIV prevalence. The urgency for new tools
could not be greater — there is no time to wait."

TB kills nearly two million people per year, primarily because of
inadequate diagnostic and treatment tools. While roughly one drug for HIV
has been developed each year since the start of the epidemic 25 years
ago, the latest novel TB drug in today's standard therapy was developed in
the 1960s. Basic science is not being translated into new TB drugs
needed to improve treatment, according to an MSF analysis of the TB drug
pipeline. There are not enough promising drugs in the pipeline and
serious funding gaps prevent the development of candidate drug compounds
through to clinical trials.

Resistance to TB drugs is growing at a rapid pace, with 450,000 new
cases of drug-resistant TB detected each year. The recent detection of
hundreds of cases of XDR-TB, which is extremely difficult and sometimes
impossible to treat, adds further urgency to the situation. TB remains
the main killer of people with HIV, in large part because existing TB
drugs and tests are poorly adapted for use in people with HIV/AIDS.

"In TB research, there needs to be a convergence of innovation,
incentive, and access," said Dr. Carl Nathan, Rees Pritchett Professor of
Microbiology and Chairman of Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell
Medical College. "We need to see openness, leadership and collaboration
among all TB actors."

Experts attending the symposium emphasized several actions that
urgently need to be taken to improve the situation:

Drastically increase funding of TB R&D
Accelerate drug discovery
Expand clinical trial capacity and speed up clinical development
Commit to global TB R&D leadership
Support new approaches to R&D, such as a global R&D framework
"We need increased clinical trial capacity, fast-tracked clinical
trials, and criteria for compassionate use of important candidate drugs,"
said Dr. von Schoen-Angerer. "To make any real difference, we need to see
a dramatic increase in funding and political will."

The symposium emphasized a need to build a global TB R&D movement, as
was critical to the advancements in HIV drug development. Strong
political leadership is required to improve collaboration between scientists,
drug developers, care providers, and affected individuals. Symposium
participants agreed on the need for a massive increase in funding by
governments for TB R&D, as current TB drug discovery initiatives are
insufficient. Participants voiced support for an effort launched by
governments at the World Health Assembly in May 2006 to examine alternative ways
to prioritize and finance health-needs-driven R&D.

National Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) HIV/AIDS advocates applauded the recent passage of a three-year reauthorization of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act as the legislation contained key provisions that would benefit AAPI communities.

The Ryan White CARE Act provides life-sustaining care and support services to an estimated 500,000 HIV-positive people and their families in the U.S. API leaders stated that it is critical as the only source of public funding for HIV/AIDS treatment and care for the many AAPIs living with HIV/AIDS.

AAPIs had the highest estimated annual percentage change (8.1 percent for AAPI men and 14.3 percent for AAPI women) in annual HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates according to recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It has become increasingly important to address the needs of AAPIs living with AIDS and their families because our community was the only racial/ethnic group to experience statistically significant increases in HIV/AIDS diagnosis rates.

Given the AAPI community's high rates of being uninsured and under-insured for healthcare and the shrinking of public health and assistance programs such as Medicaid, the Ryan White CARE Act has become even more critical for AAPIs who would otherwise not have access to HIV/AIDS treatment and care", commented Ms. ManChui Leung, Program Director at the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum.

For 83 year old Los Angeles native Hazel Young, the transformation from a Chinese American public service employee to a vocal HIV/AIDS activist was driven by her passion to educate Asian Americans that HIV/AIDS can happen in their families. Her son died of AIDS shortly after his 30th birthday twelve years ago.

Even though Mrs. Young was completely supportive of her son and was his primary care giver until his death, she experienced first-hand the stigma and denial from her community that has discouraged many AAPI HIV/AIDS patients from seeking care and support.

"As a community, we still have many myths and misconceptions about HIV/AIDS. It may be difficult to accept, but we need to recognize that HIV/AIDS can happen to any of us. Wouldn't you want to know that there are programs and services available to provide the best care possible for your loved ones?" asked Mrs. Young.

Throughout the past decade, community awareness about HIV/AIDS in the AAPI community has improved.

Yet, AAPIs are still more likely than other racial/ethnic groups to access care and treatment very late in their disease, thereby limiting healthcare options.

The Ryan White CARE Act will provide funding for earlier care and treatment to hard to reach communities such as the AAPI communities. "As more AAPIs are infected with HIV/AIDS, access to culturally and linguistically competent care is increasingly important to the patients and their families. As with any other community, AAPIs deserve the highest level of quality health care possible. It can make the difference between life and death," stressed Leung.

The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum is a national policy advocacy organization dedicated to improve the health status of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. The twenty-year old organization is headquartered in San Francisco with a legislative office in Washington, D.C.

The Ryan White CARE Act was named after Ryan White, an Indiana teenager whose courageous struggle with HIV/AIDS and against AIDS-related discrimination helped educate the nation.

A 26-year-old man died of renal failure after doctors in a government-run hospital in Delhi refused to treat him because he was HIV- positive, a newspaper report said .
The Hindustan Times newspaper said the unnamed man was admitted with a fever at the Lok Nayak Hospital, but that tests conducted revealed he was HIV positive.
"His case sheet says that he was refused treatment because he was HIV-positive," a doctor at the hospital, who declined to be named, told the newspaper.
"He was referred for dialysis. But doctors there turned him away because he was suspected to be HIV-positive," the doctor said. "He died within two hours."

Widespread stigma and discrimination forces millions of people living with HIV and AIDS underground where they shy away from social life and hide their infection.
A top UN official said in the absence of vaccine against the virus, the ‘social vaccine’ of mass awareness needs to be strengthened.
"Social vaccine is the main weapon to fight against the HIV/AIDS," Peter Piot, executive director of United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS(UNAIDS) said in the eastern city of Patna.
"By social vaccine I mean to create a mass awareness to educate the people about the killer disease and on how to prevent it" said Piot, who was a member of a delegation on a daylong visit to Bihar along with Suma Chakrabarti of the International Development (DFID) of Britain.
Bihar is a focus state for both DFID and UNAIDS. "The latest study showed that Bihar is vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to poverty and large-scale migration from the state," he said.
"If the people know how to protect themselves, we will win the battle against HIV/AIDS in India and across the world," Piot said.
According to the United Nations, 5.7mn Indians are living with HIV/AIDS the world’s largest caseload.
What happes in India, is also happinig in other country.
Let let the Government and international Agencies support people living with HIV and AIDS Economically and legally to live a normal life.
We have the right to live.

KATHMANDU, Dec. 14: Raju Pokharel, 34, is the vice president of Lumbini plus, a network of HIV positive people. He has been living a positive life for the last eleven years. Initially, he did not know what it meant to be a positive.

In 2004, he participated in a youth camp on discrimination organised by Nepal Red Cross Communication and Humanitarian Values Department it was only there that he revealed of being HIV positive. There he met with other fellow participants, including women, and was encouraged in sharing openly on how they acquired HIV.

They received counselling training and entertained different experiences of sharing positive life through Red Cross and other organisations working in the area of HIV/AIDS. More importantly, he has been working as a peer educator for people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.

After that he started providing counselling to ones like himself. At a youth camp organised by NRCS in Dadeldhura, Raju said "It was me who happen to transfer HIV to my wife, who is 32, and we are still living happily."It is stigma and discrimination not HIV that kills people, he said.

"The best treatment for HIV/AIDS is not medicine but family care,"he told the participants.

He is treated as normal by his family and the community also does so. The more he worked, the better he established himself as resource person in the community about HIV. Dozens of others look towards him for counselling.

Now, even his wife accompanies him in his mission. The couple believes that people infected with HIV today does not face such discrimination they used to in the past. "The level of discrimination has diminished gradually,"said Sujata. "Everyone should die one day but we are living a meaningful life before we remain no longer." We have very good understanding, and we support each other,"she added.

Nowadays, counselling is Raju's mission and his passion. He emphasises that the meaning of life is in saving lives. His morning starts with HIV people and their families, when it is dusk he is still with them ? talking and giving them support and encouragement.

Young people and people living with HIV/AIDS in Vietnam are those who have made direct and most effective contributions to the fight against the disease, said former US President Bill Clinton.

At a round-table discussion with Vietnamese youths in Hanoi on December 6, Clinton said the best way to prevent the spread of the deadly epidemic is to increase public awareness of preventative measures.

The discussion saw the attendance of students from a number of universities in Hanoi, as well as representatives from some international organisations, the embassies of the United States and Australia, and members of the Hoa Phuong Do (Red Flamboyant) Group, which has been dedicated to disseminating information about HIV/AIDS.

Emphasising the role of the local youth in disseminating information about HIV/AIDS, the founder of the Clinton Foundation said it was necessary to talk more about HIV/AIDS as the Vietnamese Government has been putting efforts into planning and strictly implementing the law related to the disease.

Clinton spoke highly of the role played by propagandists like Pham Thi Hue, who is a founding member of the Hoa Phuong Do Group and a UN volunteer, saying the recruitment of propagandists like Hue in the HIV/AIDS fight was an effective method.

The former US President urged students at universities and schools to establish forums on HIV/AIDS, not only in Hanoi but also in remote and isolated areas.

He also stressed that stigma and discrimination were making the situation more difficult for many HIV/AIDS patients.

On behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS, Hue called on all people who share the same misfortune to overcome themselves and integrate into the community. She also appealed to society to fight the stigma and discrimination against HIV/AIDS carriers.

Earlier, former US President Clinton signed an accord with the Vietnamese Ministry of Health under which the Clinton Foundation will provide medicines and necessary tests for 1,200 children infected with HIV/AIDS in the country until late 2007.

The project is part of the cooperation programme between the Clinton Foundation and the International Drug Purchase Facility (UNITAID), which was designed to provide anti-retroviral drugs and health care services for more than 100,000 children living with HIV/AIDS around the world. (VNA)

Jamaica is part of a regional initiative to reduce stigma and discrimination against persons living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. While efforts to combat this challenge both in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean are still in their early stages, anti-HIV-related stigma and discrimination efforts have already begun to reap some success.

Annesha Taylor, one of two HIV- positive Jamaicans who went public about their status in September this year as part of the Ministry of Health's HIV anti-stigma campaign, believes that while stigma is still a problem in Jamaica, it is declining somewhat.

"I think it (the HIV-related stigma) is gradually cutting down based on the campaign that the MoH has put out. We have gone to a number of workplaces to speak about HIV and help them (the workplaces) write their (HIV) workplace policy."

Annesha said while many HIV- positive persons are not disclosing their status to Jamaica and by extension, the rest of the world, anti-stigma efforts have resulted in many of them being comfortable enough to disclose their status to smaller groups.

"Most people are (now) more comfortable talking to their family about their status even if they don't go public to the entire Jamaica. They are disclosing their status to smaller groups, such as in workshops," she stated.

She pointed out that HIV- positive people have a key role to play in reducing the level of HIV-related stigma that is directed at them.

"They have to accept that they are living with the virus and they have to move on and get on with their lives."

The Ministry of Health's current HIV anti-stigma campaign is just one of the initiatives aimed at reducing HIV-related stigma and discrimination being pursued in Jamaica.

JN+ an eight-year old organisation comprising 260 members who are HIV-positive, has been making some progress in documenting and investigating HIV-related discrimination against its members. However, the organisation's advocacy officer, Tony Hron, revealed that an accurate picture has not yet emerged from the data that they have collected so far.

He said JN+ has been collecting complaints of HIV-related discrimination informally since 1997 when the organisation was founded. However, he said that the organisation only started doing so in an organised manner, recently.

"The formal, systematic process began in January 2005 and since August 2006, there have been 49 cases of HIV-related discrimi-nation cases reported to us," he disclosed.

According to Mr. Hron, the health sector accounted for 61 per cent of the 49 reports of HIV- related discrimination.

He said it is possible that the number of cases reported in the health sector is higher than other sectors because adherence counsellors who know the complaints reporting procedures are present at the public treatment sites.

worst offenders

"It is hard to say if the health sector is the worst offender as the level of discrimination in other sectors is not known," Hron explained.

However, he said most people are not aware that they can formally report cases of discrimination, and so, the problem is much bigger than what is reflected in the number of reported cases.

According to Mr. Hron, more persons should be able to make reports of HIV-related discrimi-nation soon, as an online HIV-related discrimination reporting feature would be a part of a website that JN+ should launch by the end of 2006.

"There will be a short online reporting form that anybody can fill out and submit. The agency, (JN+) will contact them and follow-up on their complaints," Mr. Hron disclosed.

He said the reports from the website would be fed into the national programme's monitoring and evaluation database.

The Ministry of Health also recently began to document and investigate reports of discrimi-nation.

Acting Director National Aids Committee, Vivian Gray, says the National Aids Committee, the Ministry of Health, and the Jamaica Aids Support for Life, has begun making attempts to capture reports of discrimination, since June 2006. However, he said very little data have been collected so far.

"It is just in its infant stages. So far, we don't have a full picture of how widespread it (discrimination) is and which sectors are the worst offenders," he stated.

However, he said eventually, the Health Ministry hopes to get an idea of the type of discrimination that people face and from what sectors.

Decreasing HIV-related stigma and discrimination is now being given priority by the Pan-Caribbean Partnership against HIV/AIDS (PANCAP), a regional body which was set up in 2001 and given the mandate to scale up the region's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The group is in the process of developing a website which will place special emphasis on the importance of decreasing HIV-related stigma and discrimination.

stigmatised

Volderine Hackett, senior project officer at PANCAP, said fear of being stigmatised prevents people from going to get tested for HIV and drives the disease under-ground.

"Research has shown that stigma and discrimination are the major driver of the disease, therefore, any prevention and support programme has to tackle stigma and discrimination," she stated.

PANCAP is hosting a series of seminars aimed at raising the awareness of the media of the issue and forging a partnership with media workers and employers to assist in reducing HIV-related stigma and discrimination in the region. The first meeting was held in The British Virgin Islands in November and another one is to be held in Barbados in early December.

The above article was commissioned by Panos Caribbean.

This year’s theme, Accountability, Stop AIDS – Keep the Promise, with a focus on stigma and discrimination, is once again a call for everyone to take action and responsibility for ensuring the necessary precautions are taken against this preventable disease.
HIV/AIDS has decided to keep its promise by destroying our economy, increasing the number of orphan in the country, bringing poverty to our Country, taking our young people out off school, broken homes, taking our love ones from us.

we need to ask ourselves these questions, are we keeping the promise, the promise to support PLWHAs, the promise of greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS, in the planning, implementation and monitoring of HIV/AIDS activities, the promise of access to treatment, can we give an account of the HIV money giving to us to care for People living with HIV/AIDS, how are young people involve to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDSD in our country especially Young people living with HIV/AIDS, how many young people living with HIV/AIDS are economically balanced, what policy do we have to support people living with HIV/AIDS to fight for their fundamental human right. This and other questions we need to ask ourselves individually as we are approaching another year of HIV promise.
“It is a challenge to all of us to become more knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS and its related promises next year,
The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is increasing on young people and woman, despite the awareness in the Country.
HIV and AIDS is one of the greatest threats to the welfare of Nigerian young people today. there is a need to initiate a programme that will revolved around them and which dealt with the issues of major concern to them and manage by them.

We must be vigilant in our family life education and health promotion initiatives among young people, to ensure that they were protected from contracting the virus.
“In doing so, new ways of ensuring behaviour change among young people must be explored, like using young people living with HIV/AIDS to educate other young people so that we can build a high awareness level within youths of the devastating consequences of this Virus. With the appropriate levels of behaviour change among young people, we can Stop AIDS and Keep the Promise.”

Churches in Nigeria have a very crucial role it must play in seeking to reduce the stigma and discrimination that is associated with the HIV/AIDS.
The churches have their part to play in the prevention, care and support programmes; they could also help in reducing the high level of discrimination associated with the disease.
“Stigma and discrimination against those living with HIV have helped to drive the epidemic underground and have accelerated the spread of the epidemic. The leaders of many churches and faith-based organizations are in a unique position to bring attention to the stigma and discrimination and encourage a change in attitude and practices across the region.”
Champions for Change 11 Conference held in Georgetown, in 2005, church leaders were encouraged to work alongside people living with HIV/AIDS to understand their needs and the impact the stigma and discrimination of the disease has had on their lives.
Churches and faith-based organizations generally provide a wide range of help and support to the needy and that people living with HIV and AIDS need that type of support more than most.
Home based care was not a replacement for hospital care; it merely forms part of a range of prevention, care, treatment and support services that include the family, the community and health care providers.
With appropriate care and education, people with HIV/AIDS can live full and healthy lives and this home based care initiative is designed to focus on health and well-being.
Every priest irrespective of your denomination have a role to play in strengthening the response to HIV/AIDS and, “it is important that we work together and not in isolation.

How do we fight the stigma and discrimination that has become
synonymous with HIV/AIDS? How do we show people who are not
infected with HIV or affected by it that people living with HIV
deserve our compassion? These persons have not committed any sin
and even if they did,does God not forgive sinners?

These are three of the many questions that have been floating
in my mind that we need to address, and it has become clear
to me that while we need legislation against stigma and
discrimination(and that legislation must be the bedrock of the
fight against HIV in general)our people must also be educated
which we need to champion through young people living with HIV
and AIDS in Nigeria, for they are the vital organ that have been
forgotten both in decision making, planning and implementation
of HIV and AIDS activities.

There's been some awareness creation,but I think that the relevant
authorities need to go a step further in the education campaign to
show people that anyone, black or white; young or old; educated or
uneducated can be infected by this virus, and that it is really not
something that we should be afraid of contracting when dealing with
people on an everyday basis.

Undoubtedly, information is readily available to all of us, but until
it reaches the hearts and minds of people so as to bring about a change
in behaviors, the stigma and discrimination will continue to fester.
I am of the belief that one way of combating stigma is the
decentralization of the treatment programme offered by Government to
all General hospitals in the country, whereby persons who need
treatment
can go to any General hospital and health center near by to obtain
treatment.

I think that would be ideal because no one would be able
to look at a person and tell if he or she has HIV/AIDS.

This will start to break down the stigma and discrimination barriers
that exist, but will also provide a gateway for persons living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) to feel comfortable when accessing treatment.

I must therefore commend GHAIN Anambra State, UNFPA Anambra State and
ANSACA for taking voluntary counseling and testing services to all
corners of Anambra State and making it accessible to the people this
was indeed a bold step and has resulted in many more people, coming
forward to know their HIV status.

But young people are still not coming fro test,they never involve
young people living with HIV in planning these programmes as
stated in NSF and GIPA principles.

Yet we have Association of Positive Youths in Nigeria (APYIN) which
is a Network of young people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and
Youth Network in Nigeria (NYNETHA).

World Population Report 2005 indicates that almost a quarter of
all individuals living with HIV/AIDS are young People, yet they
represent half of all new HIV infection cases.There is a need to
have youth friendly centers in the country which young people can
own.

Youth even though are important segment of our society lack the
necessary information, skills and services that are needed to
prevent themselves from contracting HIV.

Nigerias can combat HIV epidemic when their Government, Donor
agencies and other stakeholders begin to regard young people
living with HIV and AIDS as a critical stakeholder.

HOW do we fight the stigma and discrimination that has become synonymous with HIV/AIDS? How do we show people who are not infected with the virus or affected by it that those who have been dealt this "bad hand" deserve our compassion? These persons have not committed any sin and even if they did, does God not forgive sinners?
Those are but three of the many questions that have been floating around in my mind that we need to address, and it has become clear to me that while we need legislation to speak to stigma and discrimination, and that legislation must be the bedrock of the fight against HIV in general, our people must also be educated which we need to champion through Young people living with HIV and AIDS in Nigeria, For they are the vital organ that has been forgotten both in decision making, planning and implementation of HIV and AIDS activities.
But, you may say we have been educated already, we are bombarded with messages everyday as we drive to work, read the newspaper, listen to the radio and even as we watch television. So what more can be done? While I admit that this is true, I think that the relevant authorities need to go a step further in the education campaign to show people that anyone, black or white; young or old; educated or uneducated can be infected by this virus, and that it is really not something that we should be afraid of contracting when dealing with people on an everyday basis.
Undoubtedly, information is readily available to all of us, but until it reaches the hearts and minds of people so as to bring about a change in behaviors, the stigma and discrimination will continue to fester.
I am of the firm belief that one way of combating this is the decentralization of the treatment programme offered by Government to all General hospitals in the country, whereby persons who is HIV positive or who have full blown AIDS can go to any General hospital and health center near by to obtain treatment. I think that would be ideal because no one would be able to look at a person and tell if he or she has HIV/AIDS.
This will start to break down the stigma and discrimination barriers that exist, but will also provide a gateway for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) to feel comfortable when accessing treatment.
I must therefore commend GHAIN Anambra State, UNFPA Anambra State and ANSACA for taking the voluntary counseling and testing to all corners of Anambra State and making it accessible to the people this was indeed a bold step and has resulted in many more people, coming forward to be tested though they never involve young people living with HIV in all this setting as stated in NSF and GIPA principles, and other young people both in there planning and implementation that is why young people are not accessing them. yet we have Association of positive youth in Nigeria (APYIN) which is a Network of young people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and Youth Network in Nigeria (NYNETHA) which have never get any support from Government yet every day 1,200 young people in Nigeria got infected, Which shows that one person per minute. World Population Report 2005 indicates
That almost a quarter of all individuals living with HIV/AIDS are young
People, yet they represent half of all new HIV infection cases. There is a need to have a youth friendly centers in the country which young people will claim the ownership.

Youth even though are important segment of our society lack the necessary information, skills and services that are needed to prevent themselves from contracting HIV.
Nigeria can combat HIV epidemic when their Government, Donor agencies and stakeholders begin to regard young people living with HIV and AIDS which has an umbrella net work known as Association of positive youth in Nigeria (APYIN) as partners in their effort to achieve sustainable development and mitigate the impact of HIV in the country.
There is a need to promote participation of young people living with HIV and AIDS in Nigeria in addressing Political, socio-economic and cultural issues to reduce stigma and discrimination among them.
Nevertheless, there is a need for a legislative framework that speaks to how we deal with those who discriminate against PLWHA, not only in the workplace, but with respect to housing, education and other social services.
Despite some opposition, I think that a sound legal and policy framework where PLWHA at the end of the day can have some sort of recourse is imperative; this coupled with education is the key. Hearing and knowing is one thing, but feeling it is something else. Often we do not understand what someone is going through until the shoe is on our foot and that need not be.
Perhaps, if we were to all just open our minds and our hearts, not just letting the information being disseminated go through one ear and come through the other, but listen, ponder and embrace it, then compassion would come much easier.
Let us joins our hand and support young people living with HIV and AIDS in our country, for they have been relegated to the background yet some of them are the one spreading the virus. Until we learn how to empower them to live a positive life, HIV will continue to move from one young person to another young person.
Let us save our future generation. I am suggesting that it was essential that government, donor agencies, top political leadership and ministerial officials should become more directly engaged with young people living with HIV and AIDS in trying to control HIV/AIDS, in resolving difficult and enduring policy issues and in directing a truly multi-sector approach.
Only high-level national leadership can effectively confront the deep stigma that surrounds young people and HIV/AIDS.

Although the HIV/AIDS pandemic is leading to increased numbers of tuberculosis cases worldwide, and more people are dying of AIDS-related causes because of TB, governments are not adequately addressing the interaction between the two diseases, according to a Report release by the Public Health Watch project of the Open Society Institute, Reuters Health Reports
. The report, which was released in advance of the XVI International AIDS Conference
in Toronto next week -- examines the relationship between TB and HIV/AIDS and governmental responses to the two diseases in Bangladesh, Brazil, Nigeria, Tanzania and Thailand. It finds that widespread stigma; a lack of awareness; uncoordinated services; and a need for local, national and international mobilization are intensifying the TB/HIV co-epidemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Governments and the international community have got to realize they have on their hands two simultaneous and interrelated catastrophes," UN Special Envoy for AIDS in Africa Stephen Lewis said, adding, "We must confront both together. We need more resources. We need diagnostics. We need better drugs"
Although Bangladesh, Brazil, Nigeria, Tanzania and Thailand have varying TB/HIV co-epidemics, the governments of all five countries need to increase coordination of TB and HIV/AIDS policies and programs. The stigma and discrimination associated with TB and HIV/AIDS keep many people living with the diseases from seeking treatment -- an issue compounded by a lack of adequate diagnostic tools. One-third of all sputum smear samples from HIV-positive people are correctly diagnosed as positive for TB, and any delay in TB treatment among people living with HIV can be fatal, there is a lack of knowledge about TB and TB/HIV co-infection among the public and policymakers in the five countries. People living with HIV/AIDS often do not have basic knowledge about TB even though they are at an increased risk of developing the disease. Advocates, donors and policymakers need to make a commitment to improve social mobilization around TB and TB/HIV co-infection and reduce TB incidence and mortality among HIV-positive people worldwide Let us generate interest in the relationship between TB and HIV/AIDS during the International AIDS Conference.

Young leaders have been encouraged to use their power as peer educators
to help the voiceless and the most marginalized worldwide by Andres
Guerrrero, Programme Officer of UNICEF, at the YMCA World Youth Council in
Durban, South Africa. Speaking to more than 200
delegates from 80 countries, Guerrrero, who is based in Geneva, outlined
the recent strategic partnership between UNICEF and the YMCA to promote
youth leadership and participation in decision-making at all levels.
Three key priority areas have been identified - combating HIV/AIDS,
promoting basic education and gender equality, and promoting the
protection of children, especially the most vulnerable.
In terms of the partnership agreement, young people are seen as
resources for communities and skills development has been identified for
youth to be active participants to bring about change at a local level.
"In terms of combating HIV/AIDS, we are developing the capacity of
youth to work in partnership with adult leaders and governments to
promote primary prevention. "This involves training on behaviour-change
communications programmes with a life-skills focus which are age-relevant
and gender-sensitive.
"It also includes training to advocate for the rights of people
living with HIV/AIDS for interventions to counteract stigma and
discrimination, and for access for antiretroviral treatment, especially for
children and young people as they are typically excluded from ARV treatment."
Guerrrero encouraged young YMCA delegates to take the lead in
identifying orphans and vulnerable children in their local communities and to
bring their needs to the attention of local authorities to ensure these
children are integrated into their communities to receive essential
care and service.
"To tackle basic education and gender equality, UNICEF and YMCA are
promoting improved community and family care practices to assist
children to be ready to start primary school on time, especially marginalized
children and indigenous peoples.
"We also encourage you as young leaders to use your large worldwide
YMCA network to collaborate with the United Nations Girls Education
initiative to promote social mobilisation and acceleration campaigns aimed
at improving access to and completion of primary school."
Another area involves the promoting of safe, effective, child-centred
and gender-sensitive education in formal and non-formal settings to
foster effective development and participation of children and young
people and to contribute to gender equality in and through education.
"Concerning promoting the protection of children from violence,
exploitation and abuse, UNICEF and YMCA will use the UN Study on Violence
against Children as a framework to promote inter-generational dialogue on
children's rights, such as violence in families, schools, communities,
institutions and regarding children in conflict with the law.
After the study is tabled in the UN General Assembly around October
this year, the two world organisations will promote opportunities for
young people and children to be involved in its implementation,
monitoring and evaluation.
"We urge youth in the YMCA to be actively involved in producing
educational materials on the human rights dimension of gender inequality to
empower girls and young women to assume their rightful positions in
society and to end violence against women."
Through exposing delegates to each others experiences of leadership,
the three-day World Youth Council aimed to equip these young delegates
to go back to their local YMCAs around the world to transform the
social and economic realities in their communities in innovative and
community-driven ways.
These younger leaders joined another 600 delegates at the World
Council of YMCAs which runs from 10 - 15 July at Durban's Amphitheatre,
South Africa.
It was hoped that after their experiences at the Youth Council, it
would be the younger leaders whose voice is heard the loudest, driving
the debates and the agenda at the World Council, which decides policy for
the YMCA movement for the forthcoming four years.
The YMCA is the world's largest social movement with 45 million
members in 124 countries.
With over 14 000 local YMCAs, this voluntary Christian movement of
women and men has a special emphasis on youth development. YMCAs work for
social justice for all people, irrespective of religion, race, gender
or cultural background

Second conference in Namibia for 'People Living with HIV/AIDS', to be
held in the Oshana Region, is expected to take place in August this
year. The conference aims at bringing together People Living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWA) in the Oshana, Oshikoto, Ohangwena and Omusati regions and will
enable participants to share information and challenges facing them.
According to Yelula Project Officer Martha Amupolo the focus of the
conference will encompass reproductive health, anti-retroviral
treatment, prolonging the lives of those living with the disease and
HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination.
It will also provide PLWA the opportunity to interact extensively
with each other, and provide knowledge of spiritual, physical,
socio-economic and medical implications of the AIDS pandemic.
Various foreign AIDS activists who are living with the disease are
expected to attend the conference.Said Amupolo: "We have invited AIDS
activists from South Africa and Europe, most of them living with the
disease, to attend the conference to take place from 22 until 24 August this
year."
It will be the second conference for People Living with HIV/AIDS,
after the Catholic Aids Action (CAA) held the first one in Windhoek in
1998.
The Yelula Project is responsible for organizing the conference in
conjunction with civil society at grassroots level and wants to enhance
organisational and leadership capacity in response to the HIV/AIDS
pandemic.
The project also targets people living with HIV and AIDS, and
attempts to elicit and strengthen community responses to voluntary counselling
and testing, treatment, orphans and vulnerable children.

Despite the importance of mental illness and the high prevalence of HIV in Africa, few studies have documented depressive symptoms among HIV-infected persons in Africa. We assessed factors associated with depression among HIV-infected adults undergoing anti-retroviral eligibility screening in Eastern Nigeria. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Univariate and multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify socio-demographic characteristics and disease-related factors associated with depression. Among 1017 HIV-infected participants assessed for depression, 47% (476/1017) reported depressive symptoms (CES-D >/= 23). Adjusting for age, gender, education, and source of income, patients with CD4 counts <50 cells/mul were more likely to be depressed (odds ratio 2.34, 95% confidence interval, 1.39-3.93, P = 0.001). Women, participants >50 years, and those without an income source were more likely to be depressed. Depression was common among HIV-infected persons in rural area in eastern Nigeria and was associated with low CD4 cell counts. Appropriate screening and treatment for depression should be considered for comprehensive HIV care.

There is a need for legislation to address the stigma and discrimination often directed towards persons who have HIV/AIDS.
The lack of a wide-ranging legislative framework that speaks to how we as a country deal with stigma and discrimination in relation to HIV/AIDS, will present the greatest challenge to the future fight against the disease.
The stigma and discrimination have always been there, not only with HIV and AIDS, but they pose a big problem in terms of HIV and AIDS, because they stop people from getting tested and knowing their status. We want people to come forward, we want people to disclose their status and feel comfortable. A legal and policy framework where persons at the end of the day can have some sort of recourse and not only talk is necessary.
Such a framework, , would help the general public to respect persons living with HIV and AIDS, as well as give those persons the assurance that if they are discriminated against, whether it is with regards to employment, housing or even education that the offender could face some penalty.
In addition, if there is to be a widespread reduction in the stigma associated with the disease, the treatment programmed needs to be decentralized.
There is one centralized area for treatment and a stigma is attached to that too; so if we can decentralize that, where they can go to any private practitioner to obtain treatment, that would be ideal. What would happen is no one would be able to tell anymore who has HIV/AIDS.
I am hoping that we would decentralize that eventually, and then allow that gateway for people to feel comfortable in terms of accessing the service, as well as promoting more voluntary counseling and testing.
To reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS, the public has to be educated and not just bombarded with facts. Hearing and knowing is one thing, but feeling it is something else. So we have to promote a message that speaks directly to the heart about stigma and discrimination,


THINK ABOUT THAT AT TORONTO

Invitation to become International Civil Society Partner for the International AIDS Conference 2008 in Mexico City.
During 2005, the International AIDS Society undertook a series of consultations regarding the International AIDS Conference, called “Future Directions”. One outcome of that process is that the governance of the conference should be more inclusive and give opportunities for different organizations to play a role on the Conference Coordinating Committee (for the whole report, see the IAS website www.iasociety.org.

Your Excellencies, I am a person of faith, a religious leader, and yes…a person living with HIV.

I must confess to you that quite often I grow weary and frightened when I imagine how future generations will look back to this 25th anniversary of the suffering and death caused by AIDS. Of course, our grandchildren will see that there were aspects of the response where we made real progress in those 25 years – we learned what it takes to prevent transmission of the virus, we learned what works to help people who are positive to live longer and productive lives, we learned how to help children who are orphaned, and we learned what responses are most effective in providing care and support to individuals and communities that are affected. But the greatest and most obvious gaps that survivors, will wonder about – and be angry about -- are the missed opportunities, the lack of political will and the lack of total commitment by those of us in leadership positions to use all that we knew and all that we had to fight the pandemic. They will surely ask “What went wrong?” “What prevented us from transforming the knowledge and the resources we had, into focused will and targeted action?” “Who were the world leaders at that time?”

But we still have the opportunity to escape the harsh pen of history. To do this, we need your political will. We need your total commitment. You are our political leaders. It is your job to provide the needed leadership -- in your nation’s capitals and your local communities.

At this 2006 High Level Meeting, we have come to the crossroads and we have an important choice to make:

Do we want to continue making token contributions, speaking weak words, and avoiding specific targets?
or
Do we want to make the life-long and life-saving commitments and sacrifices necessary to halt, reverse and eventually overcome the pandemic?


You came to this meeting with positions to defend or to negotiate, but you leave with a choice to make: continuing with tokenism or transforming the AIDS landscape with total commitment.

Tokenism means moving on without clear targets, pledging some little money, signing documents, and issuing press releases.

Total commitment means fully implementing the policies, programs and partnerships that we know will work. Total commitment is demonstrated by:
• The full participation of people living with HIV and AIDS
• Embracing and meeting firm targets by 2010
• Promoting and protecting the rights of women and their empowerment
• Implementing comprehensive, evidence-informed and rights-based prevention strategies
• Ending stigma and discrimination
• Naming and responding to the needs of all vulnerable groups
• And insuring that no task-focused results-oriented, evidence-led and well-costed national strategy goes unfunded or underfunded.


This is an important choice – and a heavy responsibility. But you, as our political leaders, are not alone on this journey of choice and responsibility. We positive people, people of faith, and all of civil society are here to work with you. We are responsible and effective partners if given the space and the support needed to make our contribution.

In my world of faith there are two virtues we hold dear – keeping promises and multiplying hope. Indeed, our hope for a world without AIDS will be real – but only if your political will is firm, your commitment is total and your promises are kept.
We all have much work to do – and you have promises to keep -- so that when we return in five years to assess how we have done, we will not be lamenting our failures but rather celebrating the achievement of what has been accomplished.


So, let us keep the promise and stop AIDS!

He has since dedicated his life to breaking the stigma, shame, denial, discrimination, inaction and mis-action related to HIV and AIDS. Canon Gideon is an Anglican priest and founder of ANERELA+ (the African Network of Religious Leaders Living with or Personally Affected by HIV/AIDS), and he serves as advisor to the HIV and AIDS Hope Initiative for World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization.

Young people living with or most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS stigmataze in the society One way of achiving behavioral change is to encourage HIVpositive young people to share their experiences about the disease to give it a positive, human face. In Mozambique, Kindlimuka, a UNICEF-supported association of people living with HIV/AIDS, teaches six-month civic education classes in 12 secondary schools in which students learn about HIV/AIDS prevention. Afterwards, a group of 10 students from each school put on a play about HIV/AIDS. Being taught by HIV-positive people has helped change the students’ attitudes towards people living with the disease.I think Nigeria can adupt such a mesure it will be one of the best practice.i mean by training young people living with HIV/AIDS as peer Educators.thereforei am caling on UNICEF to support such a move in Nigeria.
