    Our second team project answers five questions about Case Study #2, Preventing HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Thailand and Chapter 10, Introduction to Global Health. This project will talk about the characteristics of the high-risk population that permitted this intervention to work and the implications of this for replication in other settings. It will explain why Thailand is a model for programs in other countries. Since cost-effectiveness assessment was never done for this program, it will evaluate the assessments that should have taken into account in terms of costs measured. Furthermore, current challenges that the Thailand AIDS program face will be discussed. Lastly, it will talk about other national experiences in AIDS prevention that have been cited in the popular press as “success” and the evidence found in scientific literature about the effectiveness of these programs.…

    Aids in Africa Essay 21

    Thirty-three million people have AIDS in the world. Africa has two-thirds of that number. According to the United Nations Aids Program on HIV/Aids, and World Health Organization (WHO), estimates, seven out of ten people newly infected with HIV in 1998 live in sub Saharan Africa. Among children under 15, the proportion is nine out of ten. Of all Aids deaths since the epidemic started, eighty-three percent have been in the region. These numbers sound even more astonishing considering only one-tenth of the world's population lives in Africa, south of the Sahara. The amount of Africans affected by the epidemic is frightening. Since the start of the epidemic, an estimated 34 million people living in sub-Saharan Africa have been infected with HIV. Approximately 11.5 million of those people have already died, one-fourth of them being children. During the course of 1998, Aids has been responsible for an estimated two million deaths in Africa. There is about 21.5 million men and women living with HIV in Africa, plus an extra one million being children. Four million of those people contracted the infection in 1998 alone (Mail 8 guardian).…

    Contrary to popular belief, every country in Africa does not have soaring infection rates. For example, west and central Africa have HIV prevalence rates that vary from 5% to about 13%. The country of Senegal only has a rate between 1%-2% (Ng, Hawlan, 1999).Unfortunately southern Africa has not faired as well. Four countries have HIV prevalence rates that surpass 30%. “Those countries are Botswana (37.5%), Lesotho (31.5%), Swaziland (38.6%) and Zimbabwe (33.7%)” (Avert.org, 2004). The reasons some countries such as Senegal have lower infection rates is because their government has taken an active role in preventing the disease from spreading. In Senegal, the government has set aside a budget to implement their plan against AIDS.…

    It is clear that various illnesses have not only medical stressors but, also a social, economic and moral impact. HIV/AIDS can have devastating consequences on affected individuals and their support systems. It is a stigmatized illness and people who suffer from this illness are likely to be discriminated against by people in society as well as institutions. Aids/HIV was typically associated with the gay community who did not practice safe sex and had various partners, and drug addicted individuals. Hence, many adopted an attitude that an illness such as this is created by reckless individuals.…

    The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease of the immune system caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV is transmitted via unprotected sexual intercourse, contaminated blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, and from an infected mother to child during pregnancy, delivery or breastfeeding. There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS. AIDS is a debilitating condition that has great social, psychological and economic impact on both the individual and the wider community. Besides causing physical deterioration of the individual, AIDS can lead to stigmatization and economic hardship. The cost of AIDS to Sub-Saharan Africa is significant: without proper treatment for the HIV/AIDS population, life expectancy would be sharply reduced. The economy would be badly affected due to the loss of labour to death and absenteeism from work, as well as the strain on the healthcare system, which could exacerbate poverty. Due to the long incubation period of the virus, the impact of AIDS on Sub-Saharan Africa will still be deeply felt for years to come even if its spread is halted today.…

    1. Background: The acquired immune deficiency (AIDS) is the final stage of a group of symptoms that cause destruction to the immune system cells by a retrovirus. There are a number of retroviruses that can cause AIDS with each affecting different species. The most common among the human population is known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). There are three separate ways of transmitting HIV - through unprotected and unsafe sex; injecting and transfusing infected blood into others, and passing it from a mother to child. In 1985, the first case of HIV/AIDS was reported. Today, it is estimated that about 34 million people around the world are infected with the deadly virus. In addition, 22.9 million of these people, or two thirds of the inflicted population, live in the region known as Sub-Saharan Africa. The average life expectancy of the Sub-Saharan African region has reached as low as fifty-four years of age, and forty-nine in certain countries, such as South Africa. Specifically, in Sub-Saharan Africa, many people don’t know what HIV/AIDS is, how it is transmitted, and that there is treatment for them if they are infected. This enormous increase of HIV/AIDS infection over the past decade has taken a dramatic toll on the economy of Africa as a whole. The epidemic has not only affected the health sector, but also the education agriculture, transport, industry and human resources sectors as well. Another one of the major issues brought upon by this epidemic is the fact that in 2010 alone, 14.8 million children have lost at least one of their parents to HIV/AIDS. Many people around the world are offering their assistance to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS through providing medical treatment, distributing condoms, and educating people of the risks of unprotected sex.…
