The Operations manual provides guidance on planning and delivering HIV prevention, care, and treatment services at health centres in countries with high HIV prevalence. It provides an operational framework to ensure that HIV services can be provided in an integrated, efficient and quality-assured manner. The manual is based on the public health approach to scaling-up HIV services in resource-constrained settings, which includes simple, standardized regimens and formularies; standardized supervision and patient monitoring approaches; as well as integrated delivery of care at primary health centres within a district network. Decentralization of services to health centre and community level is facilitated with the public health approach. This manual supports efforts to deliver and scale up HIV prevention interventions including provider-initiated testing and counselling, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, prevention of HIV and TB transmission and prevention of disease progression in HIV infected individuals. The Operations manual deals with environmental health, logistic, managerial and infrastructure requirements for delivery of the essential HIV and primary care services as laid out in clinical guidelines such as country-adapted WHO IMAI, IMCI and IMPAC guidelines or other national clinical guidelines for provision of acute and chronic HIV care. This manual is written as a learning aid and job aid for the health centre team, and in particular the health centre manager (often an in-charge nurse). Specific chapters may be particularly useful for those with tasks such as managing the supplies, providing laboratory services, or managing patient records, registers and reports. During country adaptation, some content may be presented as wall charts or used to develop standard operating procedures for various services or specific types of patients. District management teams, which supervise and support health centre services, should also find this manual helpful, as should national Ministries of Health and other partners responsible for planning and supporting the decentralization of HIV services.

This book by Anna Bredström examines the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality within the context of Swedish HIV policy. It explores how cultural differences and identities influence media representations and policy-making, particularly focusing on immigrant communities in Sweden. The work is rooted in ethnic studies and employs a feminist perspective to critique existing HIV policies and educational materials. Intended for scholars and policy-makers in social sciences, it aims to challenge and expand the discourse on public health policies, emphasizing the need for inclusive and culturally sensitive approaches. The book is a part of the Linköping Studies in Arts and Science series.

Depuis l'apparition des multithérapies dans le traitement du VIH, la séropositivité a fait l'objet d'une importante littérature de la part des sciences sociales, mais aucune synthèse de ces travaux n'existait à ce jour. C'est pourquoi l'Observatoire du sida et des sexualités a mandaté deux chercheurs pour réaliser ce travail qui vise à combler en partie cette absence, et fournir un outil qui s'adresse autant aux professionnels de la santé qu'au public en général. Dans un premier temps, la séropositivité est abordée à travers les conduites thérapeutiques des personnes séropositives. Dans la deuxième partie de l'ouvrage, la séropositivité est envisagée dans l'espace public en tant que marqueur identitaire. Ce sont ensuite les questions touchant à la normalisation de l'épidémie dans l'espace public, la responsabilisation des personnes séropositives dans les politiques de prévention, la pénalisation de la transmission du VIH qui sont successivement examinées. Cet ouvrage propose ainsi de porter un regard critique sur les dynamiques sociales, politiques et culturelles à l'oeuvre dans la prise en charge de la vie avec le VIH.

"This paper attempts to quantify the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on social capital with cross-country data. Using data from the World Values Survey, the authors estimate reduced-form regressions of the main determinants of social capital controlling for HIV prevalence, institutional quality, social distance, and economic indicators. The results obtained indicate that HIV prevalence affects social capital negatively. The empirical estimates suggest that a one standard deviation increase in HIV prevalence will lead to a decline of at least 1 percent in trust, controlling for other determinants of social capital. Moving from a country with a relatively low level of HIV prevalence, such as Estonia, to a country with a relatively high level, such as Uganda, there is a more than 11 percent point decline in social capital. These results are robust in a number of dimensions and highlight the empirical importance of an additional mechanism through which HIV/AIDS hinders the development process. "--World Bank web site.
