Priority interventions: HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in the health sector

Report - Health
Tuesday, 07 October 2008

Priority interventions: HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in the health sector Produced by the World Health Organization, Priority interventions: HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in the health sector is the definitive 'one-stop shop' designed to help countries, donors and other stakeholders expand and improve their response to one of the greatest health-care challenges of our time.

It includes everything from how to expand condom programming to the latest in treatment recommendations, guidelines and standards. Priority interventions is designed to be a 'living' web-based document that will be periodically updated with new recommendations based on the rapidly-evolving experience of health-sector scale up.

Conclusion
This document called” Priority Interventions: HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care in the health sector” is a preliminary response to the request of G8 member states to WHO: “to develop and implement a package of HIV prevention, treatment and care ,with the aim of coming as close as possible to universal access to treatment for all those who need it by 2010”

It is the first WHO’s trial to compile all Health sector HIV/AIDS heath sector priority interventions, recommendations and tools in one document. The document presents the complete set of interventions necessary to build a comprehensive health sector response and tries to guide users in prioritizing them according to the epidemic settings and levels of the health system. Countries are expected to select within these interventions those that are adapted to their realities on the ground. A number of important reasons will be considered to make this choice including the epidemiological situation, the level of the system, the socio cultural context and the availability of human and financial resources in the country.

This document also responds to a long standing country need expressed by several National authorities on different occasions .WHO hopes that they will find it as a useful tool to scale up HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care towards Universal Access.

As mentioned in the introduction, this document is designed to be a living document, the current version will be available on CD-ROM .WHO is committed to collect the feedbacks from all users and develop an improved second version in hard copy and electronic version as soon as possible.

India accounts for nearly 10% of the global HIV/AIDS prevalence with an estimated 5.1 million infected in the adult population. This figure ranks India second only to South Africa in terms of countries with the most AIDS infections. Despite a relatively low overall adult prevalence rate of 0.9%, a 0.1% increase in the prevalence rate would imply over 500,000 more infected adults because of India's billion-strong population. This prevalence rate varies among states and risk groups with one study estimating 45% of women in prostitution in Maharashtra infected.

hello buddy i read your comment but dear according to me,It’s never been more important for women to get involved in HIV drug research and clinical trials. Historically, women's health issues in conjunction with HIV have not been thoroughly researched. It needs to be – our bodies are different from men’s bodies, and our reactions to medications can be different, too. You can help by getting involved and participating. Click on the links below for more information about how you can get involved in research. treatment and trails Living with and managing HIV disease requires a thorough understanding of the treatments that are available to you. It also demands that drug companies develop new and more effective HIV drugs through clinical trials and research. If you’re frustrated about the lack of information specific to women, consider participating in a clinical trial (there are many kinds)! Even if you don’t participate in a drug study, you’re still helping us learn more about HIV disease in women!

Hi, it is a very good article, in this we can known the about prvesion of aids, The family will in return answer with every word and action taken. If the family says, " I understand. Please leave and don't expect any money, help or support in any way unless you decide to get help," then the person is left to run his/her life which they generally do not have the ability to do, and before long you have a person who "DECIDES"

Sometimes family members feel sorry for the addicted individual or tend to avoid the drug abuser; let them come and go as they please. This comes across to the abuser as a reward—after all, all the addict wants is to be left alone. This kind of reward creates an out of exchange with the addict and increases criminal behavior. One should be helped by his family members.

This document, released by the World Health Organization (WHO), is a compilation of WHO-recommended priority HIV/AIDS health-sector interventions. It includes everything from how to expand condom programming to the latest in treatment recommendations, guidelines, and standards. The publication is designed to be a ‘living’ web-based document that will be periodically updated with new recommendations based on the rapidly evolving experience of the health-sector response.
In responding to country needs, this package is designed to promote the more efficient use of existing recommendations specifically aimed at resource-limited settings. The purpose of Priority Interventions is to:
* describe priority health-sector HIV/AIDS interventions that are needed to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care;
* guide the selection and prioritization of interventions for HIV prevention, treatment, and care; and
* direct readers to key WHO resources and references containing the best available information on the health sector response to HIV/AIDS.

The family will in return answer with every word and action taken. If the family says, " I understand. Please leave and don't expect any money, help or support in any way unless you decide to get help," then the person is left to run his/her life which they generally do not have the ability to do, and before long you have a person who "DECIDES" that rehab is the best thing and calls saying just that. If on the other hand the family sort of acts disappointed and carries on as usual, then the person gets the message that it is OK to continue this lifestyle and will put up even more resistance to the next intervention having bested the intervention team previously. Obviously, there are certain risks involved with either approach and should be evaluated clearly before hand. One thing is sure, as long as the addict continues to use drugs or alcohol, they risk the major risk is their life.

The bottom line is that an addicted person needs to decide, for any reason, that they need help. Most " locked down " approaches fail because the person is not part of his recovery. The only way an addict can usually fight against the addiction is when enough external pressure is applied to cause them to decide to quit. The pressure has to be greater than the drug is putting on the individual. Many call this "the bottom". However, there can be many bottoms. Obviously some are lower than others, but each can make an addict quit drugs. It just depends on what happens when the individual is there. For instance if a person is facing serious charges and is very scared. The person will either have an intervention and go to treatment or will get through this situation and be back out using. In the final analysis, it is often the family who both spots the incident and uses it to achieve treatment, or misses and waits.
