Ethnicity
About 16 distinct ethnic groups and their languages coexist in Sierra Leone. In Sierra Leone, it's common for people to identify with a particular ethnicity and religion. People of a specific ethnicity are those who consider themselves to be part of a particular cultural group. One's ethnic identity is formed via shared experiences with those who share one's linguistic and cultural backgrounds and common ancestry. "ethnicity" means a collection of people with a common cultural background. One's sense of ethnic identity is founded on shared linguistic and cultural backgrounds, histories, and customs. The Temne are the largest single ethnic group in Sierra Leone, making up approximately 35.5 percent of the population (Gohdes, 2010).Most Temne live in and around Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, and the Northern Province. The fundamental dwelling unit is the family, whether led by a man or a woman. Families (husband, wife(s), and children) form the backbone of most houses. For example, some families consist of many people (a father and son or two siblings) who are married to one other, while others have other, more distant relatives or even strangers living with them. The head of the household mediates arguments, conducts moot courts to settle family conflicts, and acts as the family's representative in village matters.
Stakes
Despite these persistent challenges, many people and organizations have worked to lessen poverty in Sierra Leone. In 2010, Sierra Leone initiated a free healthcare program called the Free Healthcare Initiative (FHCI). This program ensures that expectant mothers, new moms, and early infants have access to essential medical care to lower infant mortality rates. Sierra Leone is falling behind other countries in understanding citizens' rights and duties because of a lack of financing for educational initiatives. This adds to the already existing disparity between the sexes and further pushes women to the margins of society. The difficulty of entering the labor force and the societal conception of women as servants to men are both results of gender inequality. This thinking obstructs progress for Sierra Leone in a global community that places a premium on girls' education and gender equality.
Meaning of Illness
Due to a lack of knowledge, many people may not recognize the seriousness of a disease (McNamara, 2016). The high rates of death and morbidity may be attributed, in part, to the lack .

Today’s young people are the first generation who has never known a world without HIV and AIDS. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2010, young people ages 13 to 24 years old made up 17% of the US population, but accounted for an estimated 26% (12,200) of all new HIV infections (47,500) in the United States. 1 in 4 new HIV infections occurs in youth ages 13 to 24 years.

Introduction to the Problem
Introduction to the Problem
Problem to be addressed. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in New Yolk City and Los Angeles in 1981, but since then the epicenter of the country's HIV epidemic has shifted to the District of Columbia and the 16 states that make up the South, from urban centers. Today, the South is the most affected region and carries the greatest burden of HIV illnesses, deaths, and infection than any other region in the U.S, Rosenberg et al. (2015) reports.
Problem subtopic. Southern states alone account for 44 percent of all individuals infected with HIV in the U.S; surprisingly the region has approximately one-third of the overall population in the U.S. Southern states experience internal disparities due to their geographical position. The majority of people living with HIV live in urban areas just like the rest of the nation, Abara et al. (2015).
Possible Causes and Maintaining Forces
Cause. Unique socioeconomic factors in the South are the primary cause of the heavy burden of HIV. Poverty, poorer health facilities, income inequality, have been more prevalent in the Southern states than the rest of the country. These conditions are not unique to HIV and, overall, the populations in the region have long experienced poorer health outcomes. Among the health challenges are higher rates of diabetes, cancer, obesity as well as infant mortality compared to other areas, Hall et al. (2015) highlight.
Cause. Cultural factors and social barriers also contribute to worsening HIV infection in the South of the United States. Issues such as transphobia, homophobia, racism as well as a lack of openness in discussing sexuality in public are more common in the South, and they result in higher levels of stigma, limiting people's willingness to look for HIV testing, prevention, and care services. The challenges also restrict access to sexual health information which is critical to enable individuals to protect themselves from infection, according to Reif et al. (2015). Many people in South America are fearful or ignorant of HIV. Transgender women and men who have sex with men face high levels of discrimination and stigma putting them at risk of homicide and crimes. Since 2008, about 1,200 transgender individuals have been killed in South America. Furthermore, 44-70 percent of transgender women have expressed the need to relocate or were thrown out of their homes (Skarbinski et al., 2015).
Why the problem persists. The South experiences higher HIV diagnosis rates in rural and suburban areas that other regions countrywide. In this case, there are various drawbacks to HIV prevention efforts in this area, Abara et al. (2015) comments.
Why the problem persists. Compared to other regions, many Southerners living with HIV are not awar ...

As discussed in the earlier paper, around 92% of the total India Square population is immigrants from various origins. The majority of the 92% are unemployed and they usually depend on one of the family member or government aids. For this reason, they struggle to survive in most cases ending up being drugs user and alcoholic or and women into prostitution, activities which exposes them to SDIs. It is therefore not a surprise that HIV/AIDS and other STDs are very rampant in India Square. In fact, 29% of all deaths are from HIV/AIDs related communications. This paper will discuss HIV/AIDs as a health concern in the diverse population of India Square. Also, how the organization is responding to HIV/AIDs, gaps in the health care and barriers to closing those gaps.
Currently, the organization serves HIV/AIDs in the area by first; educating people on various ways through which they can avoid being infected. One of the most common prevention interventions relating to HIV/AIDS in being undertaken by the organization is advocating for protected sexual intercourse, particularly using condoms. Since abstinence, being faithful campaigns have proven to be futile, the organization has chosen to advocate for using condom, and boosted it by to avail free condoms to the population as much as it can (Woodward, 2018). Another intervention has been the implementation of antiretroviral therapy that entails counseling regarding the management of AIDS among the infected people. This therapy mostly starts immediately after an individual is tested HIV-positive in which he/she is enrolled to the program. The counseling entails healthy living, nutrition, medication, healthy sexual relations with other infected or uninfected people etc. Furthermore, the organization has initiated a program whereby individuals can access HIV testing tool kit implying that people can purchase the equipment and have their blood tested for the virus on their own free will. In addition, the organization has HIV awareness programs.
In India Square, the main health care gap exists between the minority educated population and the majority semi-educated. While majority of the educated population are whites and some few immigrants, most immigrants have little education. This reason makes a big difference regarding health care services received. The rate of HIV infections in the he educated population is less. Also, mortality rate due to HIV related complications is lower in in people who are educated.
To reduce the gap existing between the educated and the uneducated populations in terms of prevalence and mortality rate, two strategies can be used. The first str.

FROM ADDIS ABABA TO ATLANTA: ONE MAN’S JOURNEY TO EMORY
With over 3,800 scholars and students from
more than 100 countries, Emory University
continues to strive toward being a preeminent
destination university, attracting students, faculty,
and staff from diverse backgrounds and locations
throughout the world. One such student is
Eyelachew Desta from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Desta
recently completed
numerous
certificate courses
at the Rollins
School of Public
Health and has
plans to work
toward a Master of
Public Health
(MPH). Desta was
initially introduced
to Emory
University when he
came to the United
States for the 2012
International AIDS
Conference. On a
visit to Atlanta, he visited Emory and was “very
impressed by the programs and quality of education
offered, especially in the field of Global Health.” He
has not been disappointed. Desta says that his
certificate courses have “helped to broaden [his]
knowledge of the public health profession and
increase his interest.”
Similar to many of the international students at
Emory, Desta brings invaluable knowledge into the
classroom, gained through years of experience as a
social worker and public health professional in
Ethiopia.
Desta views his interest in these two fields,
social work and public health, as naturally inter-
related. “In this era, the public health profession is
comprised of different disciplines, including social
work,” Desta explains. “Public health requires
knowledge of social
issues,
communication,
and psychology.”
Fittingly, Desta is
genuinely
employing his skills
in both fields in his
current job as a
Family Self
Sufficiency Service
Division team
member at
Partnership for
Community Action
(PCA) in Atlanta.
There, he works as
a career counselor to help low-income families and
individuals become self-sufficient.
In addition to his work at PCA, Desta helped
launch the Holistic HIV Service Network (HHSN), a
non-profit organization working to end the
transmission of HIV/AIDS, mitigate the impact of
disease on vulnerable communities, and empower
those affected by the epidemic. In the United States,
HHSN mainly targets the Ethiopian immigrant and
diaspora communities, communities that Desta says

are often unaware of their risk for HIV infection.
“They often believe that the risk of contracting HIV
is less in the United States than in Ethiopia, due to
the strong health care system in the United States,”
he explained. To combat this misconception, HHSN
recently launched an HIV/AIDS awareness
campaign at the Annual Ethiopian Football Festival
in Washington, D.C. The goals of the nationwide
campaign are to spark a conversation about
HIV/AIDS among the Ethiopian diaspora
community and try to end stigma associated with the
disease through community
education.
Desta is very familiar with the
role that HIV/AIDS has played in
the Ethiopian community. Before
moving to Atlanta in 2014, he
served as a program manager for
the National Network of Positive
Women Ethiopians (NNPWE),
where he led and participated in the development,
planning, implementation, and evaluation of more
than 12 national HIV/AIDS project sites and
programs funded by international donors such as
USAID, PEPFAR, UNAIDS and The Global Fund.
When working with Ethiopian communities to
educate about HIV/AIDS, Desta notes that “the
biggest challenge was to gain the trust of the
community members and then begin to dispel
negative attitides towards HIV.” That is why
“community-focused solutions” are essential to the
success of any project, Desta believes. Without this
focus on the community as an active participant in
the project, often, even large international
organizations with good policies and programs are
unsuccessful in
implementing
their programs.
Desta posits
that these
international
organizations
need a local
organization
who understands the needs and concerns of the
community,
like NNPWE,
to help
facilitate
health care in
a respectful
and effective
manner.
In addition to his work with NNPWE, Desta
worked on a University of Amsterdam supported
HIV/AIDS treatment literacy project in the Afar
region of Ethiopia. Working in the
Afar region, a largely pastoral and
semi-pastoral community, was
“challenging,” Desta explains. He
found that the community was often
resistant to health aid, especially
related to HIV/AIDS. Yet, their
need for HIV/AIDS health care and
prevention is great. To effectively
educate the community, Desta worked closely with
clan elders, building trust and confidence; the elders,
in turn, helped spread awareness and understanding
about HIV/AIDS to the community.
Changing health care at a community level is “a
slow process,” Desta explains.” Because of the
constant movement of people within communities
and this gradual process of change, Desta asserts that
effective interventions must be “continuous” and
committed to communities for the long term in order
to make a tangible difference.
Eyelachew Desta has contributed years and
countless hours to the field of public health and
there’s no sign he is stopping anytime soon. As he
plans to work toward his MPH, Desta is hoping to
use his experiences and knowledge to make a
difference in the Ethiopian community in the United
States.
