BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) reduces the development of tuberculosis (TB) disease and mortality in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Despite this known effectiveness, global uptake of TPT has been slow. We aimed to assess current status of TPT implementation in countries supported by the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).METHODS: We surveyed TB-HIV program staff at US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) country offices in 42 PEPFAR-supported countries about current TPT policies, practices, and barriers to implementation. Surveys completed from July to December 2017 were analyzed.RESULTS: Of 42 eligible PEPFAR-supported countries, staff from 35 (83%) CDC country offices completed the survey. TPT was included in national guidelines in 33 (94%) countries, but only 21 (60%) reported nationwide programmatic TPT implementation. HIV programs led TPT implementation in 20/32 (63%) countries, but TB programs led drug procurement in 18/32 (56%) countries. Stock outs were frequent, as 21/28 (75%) countries reported at least one isoniazid stock out in the previous year.CONCLUSION: Despite widespread inclusion of TPT in guidelines, programmatic TPT implementation lags. Successful scale-up of TPT requires uninterrupted drug supply chains facilitated by improved leadership and coordination between HIV and TB programs.

"A Qualitative Study Exploring Factors Associated with Retention in HIV Care among Women with HIV in a Large HIV Clinic in Lagos, Nigeria, after Implementing the Test and Treat Policy."

Background. In Nigeria, various sociocultural and economic factors may prevent women from being retained in HIV care. This study explores the factors associated with retention in care among women with HIV in a large HIV clinic in Lagos, Nigeria, under the Test and Treat policy. Methods. Women living with HIV/AIDS (n = 24) enrolled in an HIV study at the AIDS Prevention Initiative in Nigeria (APIN) clinic in Lagos, Nigeria, were interviewed from April 1 to October 31, 2021, using a semistructured interview guide. Interviews were audio-taped, transcribed verbatim, and the themes were analyzed using the framework of Andersen and Newman’s Behavioural Model for Healthcare Utilization. Results. The mean age of the respondents was 37.4 ± 9.27 years. The identified themes were as follows: being aware of the antiretroviral medications and their benefits, the household’s awareness of the respondents’ HIV status, and the presence of social support. Other themes were the presence of a dependable source of income and the ability to overcome the challenges encountered in obtaining income, ease of travel to and from the clinic (length of travel time and transportation costs), securing support from the clinic, challenges encountered in the process of accessing care at the clinic, and the ability to overcome these challenges. Also mentioned were self-perception of being HIV positive, motivation to remain in care, linkage to care, and intention to stay in care. Conclusion. Several deterring factors to retention in HIV care, such as nondisclosure of status, absence of social support, and clinic barriers, persist under the Test and Treat policy. Therefore, to achieve the “treatment as prevention” for HIV/AIDS, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, it is essential to employ strategies that address these barriers and leverage the facilitators for better health outcomes among women with HIV/AIDS.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer of women in the world, and it becomes a major cause of cancer mortality in low-income countries. Currently, little is known regarding cervical cancer incidence in Laos, although it is anticipated to be high like in neighboring countries. To be able to develop a screening program in the country, it is essential to explore women's perception of the disease. The purpose of this study was therefore to describe knowledge, awareness, and attitudes regarding cervical cancer among rural women of Laos.Methods:In a descriptive cross-sectional study, women were interviewed using a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic factors, knowledge of the disease and its risk factors, awareness, and attitudes toward cervical cancer and its prevention.Results:Eight hundred women were included in the study, and 58% claimed to know about cervical cancer. Approximately one third (38%) considered themselves to be at risk, but less than 5% had ever had a Papanicolau test. Sixty-two percent believed it was possible to prevent cervical cancer and that vaccination may be a suitable method, but only 14% know about risk factors. Another method for prevention was frequent vaginal douching, which was suggested by 70% of the women. Symptoms like bleeding and discharge were correctly identified as possible indicators of cervical cancer, but only 57 women (7%) knew that an early stage of the disease could be symptom-free. Lack of subjective symptoms was the main reason for women to refrain from gynecological examinations.Conclusions:This study indicates that rural women in Laos have limited knowledge about cervical cancer and even less about screening and prevention. There is a need to educate the general community about the disease and its prevention.

Full textAbstract:
As various ethnic and culturally diverse communities respond to the threat of AIDS, anthropological approaches are useful for contextualizing the social conditions associated with the spread of HIV and for developing culturally and socially targeted means to reduce infection, disease, and death. Through analysis of social and economic relations, beliefs and value systems, and other expressions of group interaction and cultural meaning, programs can be constructed to respond to the disease in its social and cultural context. An example of this process can be seen in Project COPE, a community-based AIDS prevention project that targets injection drug users (IDUs) and their sex partners in Hartford, Connecticut. The following discussion illustrates some of the ways anthropological analysis and research techniques were used to shape and evaluate the project's design, risk reduction methodology, and implementation procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) diseases are considered two of the most serious health conditions. Behavioral intervention is one of the best ordinary less cost and most effective strategies applied to fight against HIV/AIDS. In addition to information education and communication (IEC) campaign. Health education regarding HIV/AIDS at school can help in the prevention of infection. Current study was aimed to evaluate the effect of school based educational intervention to raise awareness of students about HIV/AIDS disease.Methods: Design: A quasi-experimental design with pre-posttest was utilized. Subjects: Multi-stage random sample of 360 students recruited at preparatory and secondary schools. Tool: A structured interviewing questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic data sheet for students, knowledge of students about HIV/AIDS disease, methods of prevention and students' attitudes and opinions about HIV/AIDS.Results: Statistical significant differences regarding students’ knowledge about HIV/AIDS, methods of prevention and attitudes and opinions about HIV/AIDS were found.Conclusion and recommendations: The first and second research hypothesis was accepted as it was found that educational intervention was effective and had a positive impact on improving students' knowledge and methods of prevention regarding HIV/AIDS,. The third hypothesis was students' opinions and attitudes towards HIV/AIDS that was also accepted and had significant effect. A long-term intervention among students must be conducted for the prevention of HIV/AIDS. So, educational intervention should be disseminated to more schools to increase the effects of offering opportunities that provide students with accurate information on HIV/AIDS.

Abstract This paper determines whether there exists a public goods problem pertaining to AIDS prevention spending, which is measured using Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) AIDS prevention policy cost data for the United States over the years 1998-2007. Panel regressions are utilized to measure the degree to which AIDS prevention is a public good. If prevention spending is a Samuelsonian public good, the costs of such programs should not be a function of the number of people covered by the program. The results of this analysis have important implications for the funding of AIDS prevention programs and indicate that this spending has spillover benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Minority women are dramatically over represented among female HIV disease patients. They also are more likely to be single heads of household, have less access to basic support and survival resources, and are subject to ethnic/racial discrimination across health and social institutions. They are in worse health generally than are other women and have higher rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that are co-factors for AIDS. They are more likely to engage in poverty-driven AIDS risk behaviors and are less likely to be reached by mainstream AIDS prevention education programs. Hence, the need for women-focused AIDS prevention strategies is especially critical in ethnic minority communities.

Latar belakang: Penyebab kematian terbesar kedua pada anak maupun remaja usia 10-19 tahun di dunia yaitu HIV dan AIDS. Pemerintah Indonesia telah menerapkan Strategi dan Rencana Aksi Nasional (SRAN) Penangulangan HIV dan AIDS 2015-2019. Salah satu target dari program tersebut adalah perluasan dan peningkatan pencegahan kombinasi HIV. Tingginya pengetahuan dan rendahnya perilaku berisiko menjadi salah satu target penanggulangan HIV pada remaja.
Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi SRAN 2015-2019, pengetahuan HIV/AIDS dan perilaku berisiko pada remaja di Kabupaten Jember.
Metode : Desain penelitian menggunakan deskriptif kuantitatif. Sebanyak 100 remaja berusia 17-22 tahun dari wilayah pedesaan dilibatkan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data tentang implementasi SRAN, pengetahuan HIV/AIDS, dan perilaku berisiko dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner tertutup.
Hasil: Implementasi SRAN yang dilakukan pada remaja dianggap masih kurang (81%) meskipun sebagian besar pengetahuan remaja tentang HIV/AIDS baik (85%) dan sebagian besar remaja tidak memiliki perilaku yang berisiko (85%). Rendahnya implementasi implementasi SRAN terjadi karena remaja kurang mengetahui kebijakan penanggulangan HIV dan AIDS yang dilakukan pemerintah.
Kesimpulan: Perawat sebagai pendidik dapat memberikan sosialisasi yang lebih mendalam kepada remaja terkait kebijakan penanggulangan HIV dan AIDS. Pentingnya menganalisis implementasi SRAN selain dari pengetahuan dan perilaku remaja supaya target penanggulangan HIV dapat tercapai secara komprehensif.

Full textAbstract:
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome has only recently begun to receive attention in the field of athletic training. Previously, there was a preconceived notion that athletes were beyond contracting this disease. However, with the announcement of Earvin “Magic” Johnson's contraction of HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS, this concept has fallen by the wayside. Now, many clinicians recognize that the patients they treat may be carrying this virus and thus want to become more knowledgeable about the disease. This article addresses questions concerning transmission of AIDS, prevention of HIV transmission, and precautions that must be undertaken to protect both the athlete and the athletic trainer from this disease. Knowledge about this disease and use of appropriate precautions will substantially decrease the risk of HIV transmission in athletics.

Full textAbstract:
In the United States, we see three main phases in the construction of the history of AIDS, with each having very different implications for health and social policy. In the first, AIDS was conceived of as an epidemic disease, a “gay plague,” by analogy to the sudden, devastating epidemics of the past. In the second, it was normalized as a chronic disease, similar in many ways to diseases such as cancer. In the third, the authors propose a new historical model of a slow-moving, long-lasting pandemic, a chronic infectious ailment manifested through myriad specific HIV-related diseases. The new paradigm of AIDS incorporates the positive aspects of both earlier conceptions. It emphasizes, like the plague model, the etiology, transmission, and prevention of disease but rejects its assumption of a time-limited crisis. It takes from the chronic disease model an appropriate time frame and concern with the clinical management of protracted illness but insists on the primacy of prevention. The authors criticize both infectious and chronic disease models for their individualistic conceptions of disease and their narrow strategies for disease prevention. They further argue that the traditional distinction between, and approaches to, infectious and chronic diseases need to be rethought for other diseases as well as for AIDS.

Knowledge on sexually transmitted disease like HIV/AIDS can affect and help in reducing the incidence and number of cases of the disease in the community. The present study makes an attempt to assess the knowledge on mode of transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS among the floating sex workers in some selected areas of Dhaka city. A descriptive type of cross-sectional study was conducted for a period of six months from January to June 2009, in Drop in centers in some selected areas of Dhaka city. Data were collected from 90 floating sex workers to find their knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Of the 90 respondents, 88 (97.8%) respondents had heard of HIV/AIDS. Majority of them (52, 57.9%) were got knowledge on HIV/AIDS from NGO workers followed by 13 (14.4%) from radio and 12(13.3%) from television. Most of the respondents (74, 82.2%) knew that HIV could be transmitted by unsafe sex with a known case of AIDS. Regarding prevention of HIV/AIDS, 73(81.1%) respondents knew that use of condom was a way of prevention of AIDS. Majority (51, 56.7%) scored average knowledge on transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS. Government and non-government organizations and media can play effective role to make people aware of HIV/AIDS particularly the high risk groups.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Global communication about HIV/AIDS requires the creation of new communities that can bridge distances and distinctions of nationality, language, class, race, gendered-identities and other forms of local identification on a disease that is associated with the realm usually understood as private (sexuality). Global AIDS, characterized as ‘the disease of our time’, is responsible for spawning an entire industry devoted to the prevention, detection, treatment, and potential cure of HIV/AIDS. In terms of scale, this industry works primarily cross-nationally, with donors from the North funding programs for AIDS prevention and care in the South. Anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs), typically produced as generics by manufacturers in India or South Africa and purchased by aid funding, are central to global AIDS programs. Yet, mobilizing for global AIDS treatment embodies the logic of marketing, in which Africans with AIDS are sold as lives to be saved. This article will draw from international relations theory, sociology and anthropology to offer an interdisciplinary perspective on mobilizing communication globally.

Introduction: HIV is a virus that can be caused by the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The HIV virus that is increasingly spreading or severe will lead to and cause AIDS. White blood cells are attacked by the HIV virus and cause damage to a person's immune system. This virus spreads rapidly and the African continent is its root and origin. No one has ever found a medicine to cure someone from this disease. A person's change from children to adults is definitely physical, attitude, and others experience changes. HIV/AIDS can arise if a person's changes are not appropriate. Objective: Health education regarding the prevention of HIV/AIDS can help educate the students of SMKN 1 Ciamis on how to keep the spread of HIV/AIDS and avoid various HIV/AIDS viruses. Method: Health education research is used in the HIV/AIDS risk prevention education method in the Adolescent Range. This health education was conducted with 36 students at SMKN 1 Ciamis, Ciamis Regency, with 15 respondents as respondents. Result: Results of health education on HIV/AIDS risk prevention in adolescents at SMKN 1 Ciamis. There are still students who don't seem to understand about the spread of HIV/AIDS, even their concern for HIV/AIDS is still very porly understood. This will actually cause harm to a group of teenagers and their surroundings, for example promiscuity in adolescence, bringing negative sources to adolescents, causing the spread of HIV/AIDS. Conclussion: Results of health education on HIV/AIDS risk prevention in adolescents at SMKN 1 Ciamis. Previously given counseling on HIV/AIDS prevention, there were students who did not understand HIV/AIDS prevention, but after being given knowledge about definition of HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS prevention, reason HIV/AIDS, ways of transmitting HIV/AIDS, it showed that students understood little the importance of preventing HIV/AIDS.

ObjectivesRecent guideline changes for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention medication have resulted in calls to implement shared decision-making rather than arbitrary treatment thresholds. Less attention has been paid to existing tools that could facilitate this. Decision aids are well-established tools that enable shared decision-making and have been shown to improve CVD prevention adherence. However, it is unknown how many CVD decision aids are publicly available for patients online, what their quality is like and whether they are suitable for patients with lower health literacy, for whom the burden of CVD is greatest. This study aimed to identify and evaluate all English language, publicly available online CVD prevention decision aids.DesignSystematic review of public websites in August to November 2016 using an environmental scan methodology, with updated evaluation in April 2018. The decision aids were evaluated based on: (1) suitability for low health literacy populations (understandability, actionability and readability); and (2) International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS).Primary outcome measuresUnderstandability and actionability using the validated Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printed Materials (PEMAT-P scale), readability using Gunning–Fog and Flesch–Kincaid indices and quality using IPDAS V.3 and V.4.ResultsA total of 25 unique decision aids were identified. On the PEMAT-P scale, the decision aids scored well on understandability (mean 87%) but not on actionability (mean 61%). Readability was also higher than recommended levels (mean Gunning–Fog index=10.1; suitable for grade 10 students). Four decision aids met criteria to be considered a decision aid (ie, met IPDAS qualifying criteria) and one sufficiently minimised major bias (ie, met IPDAS certification criteria).ConclusionsPublicly available CVD prevention decision aids are not suitable for low literacy populations and only one met international standards for certification. Given that patients with lower health literacy are at increased risk of CVD, this urgently needs to be addressed.

Full textAbstract:
It is very important to recognize the trends in HIV/AIDS in specific areas such as Asia because it is vital to understanding the effectiveness of current approaches towards diagnosis and treatment. It is also very important to understand the risk factors that greatly predispose people in Asia to contracting HIV/AIDS such as lifestyle, culture, and religion. This review extensively analyzes the current trends of HIV/AIDS in India, China, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia. Additionally, cultural diversity carries certain social and religious stigmas associated with the disease. These social stigmas also pose as a significant influence on government involvement with regards to the funding of HIV/AIDS awareness, education, prevention, and the protection of human rights. Lack of education about the methods that help people from the disease and mode of transmission remains a significant hindrance in the prevention of a further rise in epidemiological statistics. Moreover, these factors are attributed to the rising incidence or risk of HIV within several populations amongst these countries. This review also analyzes the clinical presentation, epidemiological statistics, and the financial and socioeconomic impacts of HIV/AIDS in India, China, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia. Financial burdens and lack of government infrastructure in the healthcare systems are largely responsible for the rapidly rising prevalence of the disease among these populations, along with the inaccessibility to prevention and treatment methods. Furthermore, the scarcity of available antiretroviral and preventative medications is discussed. Lastly, this review explores various methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention plans that are implemented in modern medicine with respect to HIV/AIDS.South East Asia Journal of Public Health Vol.7(2) 2017: 3-11

Full textAbstract:
The decline in AIDS deaths in the USA between 1995 and 2002 has been attributed by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to HIV treatments advances. The purpose of the present study is to assess whether this AIDS deaths decline was due entirely to treatment advances, to earlier prevention successes, or a combination of both. Secondarily, we quantitatively estimate the number of AIDS deaths averted (or delayed) by treatment advances over and above prevention effects. The study employed scenario analysis to address the research questions. To answer the primary research question, we examined whether three key predictions derived from the shape and peak of the HIV incidence curve in the USA (and the natural history of HIV disease in the era before highly active antiretroviral therapy [HAART]) about the shape and peak of the AIDS deaths curve were upheld (e.g., one prediction was that the peak of the AIDS deaths curve should occur 10–12 years after the peak of the HIV incidence curve). To the extent that these predictions are supported, there is evidence that earlier HIV prevention efforts impacted the number of AIDS deaths later in the epidemic. To answer the second research question, the observed annual AIDS deaths curve (1995–2002) was compared with three estimated AIDS deaths curves that may have occurred had HAART never became available. Three estimations were employed to reflect a range of assumptions about the lag between the flattening of HIV incidence in the USA and the flattening of AIDS deaths (i.e., 10, 11 or 12 years). For any one of the three-scenario analyses, the quantitative area between the 'observed' and 'estimated' AIDS deaths curves provide an estimate of the number of AIDS deaths averted by HIV/AIDS treatments. The three predictions from the HIV incidence curve (and the pre-HAART natural history of HIV disease) for determining the shape and peak of the AIDS deaths curve were supported thereby indicating the influence of past prevention efforts on recent AIDS deaths. However, the observed decline in AIDS deaths was more precipitous than predicted (indicating the influence of treatment advances). The scenario analyses indicated that between 33,480 and 41,784 AIDS deaths were averted (or delayed) between 1995 and 2002 as a function of treatment. That is, approximately, 206,037 AIDS deaths occurred between 1995 and 2002 (in the HAART era), but between 239,517 and 247,821 likely would have occurred without the advent of HAART. We conclude that both past prevention and current treatment services have lead to the AIDS deaths decline in the USA, and that HAART has averted between 33,480 and 41,784 AIDS deaths in the USA between 1995 and 2002 over and above the effects of early prevention efforts.

Abstract Human Immunodeficiency Virus infection/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in Indonesia continues to increase. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection that is often accompanied by condyloma acuminata or genital warts. The incidence of condyloma acuminata in HIV/AIDS patients is reported to vary from 10 to 30% and is associated with low CD4+ levels or at an advanced stage of HIV/AIDS. Condyloma acuminata is caused by the Human Papilloma virus which can develop into malignancy. The purpose of this activity were to increase knowledge about the disease, risk factors, and efforts to prevent condyloma acuminata, as well as to conduct early detection of condyloma acuminate disease in HIV/AIDS patients. The service was carried out through direct education to HIV/AIDS patients who went to the VCT polyclinic at dr. H. Abdul Moeloek. Early detection was done by screening new cases of HIV/AIDS patients. This activity was held for three months and was attended by 112 participants. The results of the activity showed that education could increase the knowledge about the disease, risk factors, and efforts to prevent condyloma acuminata and found 14.3% of condyloma acuminata diseases in the screening program for early detection of disease.

Introduction. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the human immune system and Acquired immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a collection of symptoms of disease caused by HIV. UNICEF stated that the number of deaths among adolescents due to HIV/AIDS has increased. In Indonesia, cases of HIV/AIDS have begun to attack adolescents, one of the causes of which is a lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS with the prevention attitude against HIV/AIDS in adolescents in Jembrana, Bali, Indonesia. Methods. The research design used was cross sectional, random sampling technique with a sample of 82 people. The statistical analysis used was Chi square test with a significance level of 5%. Results. The results showed that the majority of respondents in the category of sufficient knowledge, namely as many as 53.7% and most had an agreeing attitude towards the prevention of HIV/AIDS as many as 65.9%. The results of the analysis of the Chi square test showed that the relationship between the level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the attitude of prevention of HIV/AIDS in adolescents showed p value = 0.001 (p value <0.05). Conclusion. This study found that there was a correlation between the level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the attitude of preventing HIV/AIDS in adolescents. Teenagers can improve their knowledge more optimally so that they are more vigilant and supportive of HIV/AIDS prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Dengue is a continuous health burden in Laos and Thailand. We assessed and mapped dengue vulnerability in selected provinces of Laos and Thailand using multi-criteria decision approaches. An ecohealth framework was used to develop dengue vulnerability indices (DVIs) that explain links between population, social and physical environments, and health to identify exposure, susceptibility, and adaptive capacity indicators. Three DVIs were constructed using two objective approaches, Shannon’s Entropy (SE) and the Water-Associated Disease Index (WADI), and one subjective approach, the Best-Worst Method (BWM). Each DVI was validated by correlating the index score with dengue incidence for each spatial unit (district and subdistrict) over time. A Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) larger than 0.5 and a p-value less than 0.05 implied a good spatial and temporal performance. Spatially, DVIWADI was significantly correlated on average in 19% (4–40%) of districts in Laos (mean r = 0.5) and 27% (15–53%) of subdistricts in Thailand (mean r = 0.85). The DVISE was validated in 22% (12–40%) of districts in Laos and in 13% (3–38%) of subdistricts in Thailand. The DVIBWM was only developed for Laos because of lack of data in Thailand and was significantly associated with dengue incidence on average in 14% (0–28%) of Lao districts. The DVIWADI indicated high vulnerability in urban centers and in areas with plantations and forests. In 2019, high DVIWADI values were observed in sparsely populated areas due to elevated exposure, possibly from changes in climate and land cover, including urbanization, plantations, and dam construction. Of the three indices, DVIWADI was the most suitable vulnerability index for the study area. The DVIWADI can also be applied to other water-associated diseases, such as Zika and chikungunya, to highlight priority areas for further investigation and as a tool for prevention and interventions.

Adolescents are physically and psychologically vulnerable to the transmission of HIV/AIDS, so that they become the focus of the population for disease prevention programs. This study aims to determine the effect of perceptions of social support and family health tasks on HIV/AIDS prevention behavior in adolescents in Baros Village, Serang, Banten. This study employed a quantitative research method with a cross-sectional design. The number of samples was 345 adolescents who were at risk of HIV/AIDS in Baros Village, Serang, Banten. Sampling from each class administering stratified sampling method. Researchers reproduced research questionnaires with an offline system which had previously been examined for the validity and reliability of a number of samples that have been calculated. Furthermore, for research questionnaires with an online system, distribution is conducted via a link from the google form. The chi-square test was administered to examine HIV/AIDS prevention behavior variables. A logistic regression test was used to see the most influential factors on HIV/AIDS prevention behavior. The results revealed a relationship between gender and family health tasks in recognizing HIV/AIDS prevention behavior problems in adolescents in Baros Village, Serang, Banten, with a p-value <0.05. The factor that most influenced HIV/AIDS prevention behavior was the family health task in recognizing problems with a p-value of 0.007 <0.05 with the largest OR value obtained, which is 1.978. Therefore, families should improve their ability to conduct health tasks in communicating and directing adolescents in HIV/AIDS prevention behavior.

Epidemiological studies have clearly demonstrated that diseases such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B (HBV), herpes simplex, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), as well as others, are on the increase. Because of this factor, and because of expanded scope of practice and increased awareness, there is growing general concern and interest among audiologists about infectious diseases and their control and prevention. In addition, audiologists are in need of specific measures to prevent disease transmission to themselves, their patients, and others, such as their families. This tutorial is intended to assist audiologists in recognizing the importance of disease control and prevention (contracting and/or spreading diseases) in their practice. Procedures to help prevent disease transmission in audiology practice are provided.

HIV / AIDS is a disease that continues to grow and become a global problem that is sweeping the world. The prevalence of HIV cases according to WHO (2015) shows, the number of people with HIV numbered 17,325 people and AIDS was recorded at 1,238 people. Therefore, people need to know about HIV / AIDS and its dangers so as to be able to prevent the transmission of the disease properly, it is necessary to provide appropriate health education to overcome these problems. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge about HIV / AIDS and the prevention and transmission of HIV / AIDS. The level of public knowledge is measured by conducting a pre-test by filling out a questionnaire before being given health education and post-test after being given health education. The level of mother's knowledge can be measured by comparing the results of pre-test and post-test. Based on the pre-test results followed by 50 respondents. The statistical test results obtained p = 0.001, meaning that there is a significant difference between public knowledge before and after being given health education about the prevention and transmission of HIV / AIDS. The results of community service are expected to improve the health status in the Jemirahan Village community, Jabon District, Sidoarjo Regency, especially for the prevention and transmission of HIV / AIDS.

Abstract Although HIV became known during the decade of the 1980’s, it was not until 1987 that the WHO launched the Global Program on AIDS to raise awareness, generate evidence-based policies, and provide technical and financial support to conduct research, promote NGO participation, and promote the rights of people living with HIV. It was then also that robust educational and prevention initiatives began to take place. At this time, a Columbia University study, led by Dr. Lynn Tepper, a gerontologist, initiated a study to see if the older population fully understood the disease and the practice of prevention behaviors, as they were not a specific target for AIDS education and prevention. This led to the establishment of the AIDS and the Elderly Interest Group, sponsored by GSA, in an attempt to know more about the impact of AIDS in the older population.

Background: AIDS is a pandemic disease which is threatening the world population. Its prevention largely depends on health education and behavioural changes based on AIDS awareness, particularly among young adults who are prone to risky behaviour. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge and attitude about HIV/AIDS among adolescents of Kamrup Metro district, Assam and to study the relevant socio-demographic factors.Methods: A cross sectional, community based study was conducted for a period of three months. A total of 300 study participants from slum & non slum areas of Kamrup Metro district, Assam were included using two stage random sampling. Interview of adolescents in 15-19 years age group was taken using predesigned and pretested schedule.Results: It was found that 95.7% of respondents had heard about AIDS. Virus as a causative agent was known to 51.6% while only 59.6% of the study subjects knew regarding asymptomatic nature of the disease. Transmission by infected syringes and needles, from infected mother to her baby & by unscreened blood transfusion was known to 69%, 74.2% and 81.8% of respondents respectively. Some misconceptions about the disease were also present. Knowledge regarding availability of treatment and prevention was found among 54.4% and 86.4% of respondents respectively. 66.5% of respondents felt that a person with HIV/AIDS must be isolated. 44% of study subjects believed that HIV/AIDS is curable.Conclusions: Though majority of respondents were aware about AIDS but complete knowledge about this disease is still lacking. There is a need for intensified activities regarding information, education and communication for these vulnerable groups.

The main focus of this research study is to investigate the determining factors affecting the awareness of HIV/AIDS among ever married women in Bangladesh. To accomplish this task fruitfully, the study uses the nationally representative BDHS 2014 data set. The finding of this study illustrates that about 70% of the respondents have heard of AIDS. Among the respondents who have heard of AIDS, 97.4% and 92.5% of them have HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention knowledge respectively. Bivariate analysis states that the variables type of place of residence, division, respondents’ education and access to mass media are significantly associated with the awareness of HIV/AIDS and also its transmission and prevention knowledge. The multivariate hierarchical logistic regression analysis reveals that respondents’ education has a significant impact on HIV/AIDS awareness and its transmission and prevention knowledge. The odds ratio in all the models indicates that respondents who are highly educated and have access to mass media are more knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS. Type of place of residence and region has significant effect on the awareness of HIV/AIDS, and also its transmission and prevention knowledge. Age of the respondents, husband education and occupation also have significant impact on the awareness of HIV/AIDS. Finding of this study further reflects that use of contraceptives is a predominant significant factor influencing the awareness of HIV/AIDS. Therefore, based on the findings it can be concluded that appropriate steps should be launched across the country to raise the awareness level of such a deadly disease for the reduction of its spread in Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT Objective: To apprehend social representation of health care professionals on HIV/AIDS and to compare it with a subgroup of physicians. Method: Qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations. Free associations for the term HIV/AIDS were collected from 73 workers of public services specialized in HIV/AIDS, in Salvador-Bahia. The results were analyzed in the EVOC software. Results: For all health professionals, HIV/AIDS is associated with “prejudice, care, disease and prevention”, and for the subgroup of physicians it is associated with the term “prevention”. Health professionals represented HIV/AIDS similarly to society in general and, due to their normative character, prescribed attitudes typical of health care professionals. Final considerations: The findings show that, despite the advances in the health area regarding the treatment of AIDS, prejudice still persists. It is important to strengthen interdisciplinary actions focused on discussions on this theme during training, favoring the comprehensiveness of the assistance.

Full textAbstract:
An evaluation was done on an AIDS Awareness Project targeting the West Coast of Sri Lanka. Dramas, performed primarily by volunteers, depicted the causes and consequences of HIV/AIDS. Flyers illustrating specific facts about HIV/AIDS were given at the dramas and at specific sites, such as bus stations. A pencil and paper pre-post design was used to evaluate the dramas and revealed that the primary respondent was an educated male who was very knowledgeable about basic HIV/AIDS information and had learned this primarily from the media (television and newspapers). Changes in attitude occurred as a result of the intervention, with respondents becoming more aware of their susceptibility to the disease and more willing to seek out advice from the Buddhist clergy if diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. The flyer distribution intervention revealed that brochures that address various levels of literacy may be more accepted by the general public.

In total, 87.73% participants were aware of HIV/AIDS while 12.27% were not. The major source of information was through teachers/schools. 96.50% knew the mode of transmission of HIV/AIDS and 95.11% were conversant with HIV/AIDS prevention. 63.6% were aware of the terms DNA and genes whereas 36.36% were not. Discussion: Generally, the students in Nakaseke district, Uganda had a high level of awareness of HIV/AIDS. However, with regards to aspects such as the cause and modern prevention methods like taking prep and prevention of mother to child transmission were less known to them. Efforts to find a cure for HIV/AIDS are still in vain. Therefore, strong emphasis on up to date control and prevention methods should be implemented to fight the HIV/AIDS scourge.
