The role of community in curbing stigma & discrimination liverpool vct pamoja...National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document discusses the role of community in curbing stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS. It outlines how community support structures like families, neighbors, and healthcare workers can either help or hinder those affected by HIV/AIDS. The document then defines stigma and discrimination and discusses how stigma is expressed through attitudes, language, and lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. It also examines how social stigma from communities can prevent people from accessing healthcare and support services due to fear of being seen by others. Finally, it discusses some strategies that have helped curb stigma, such as community education programs and family counseling services.Targeting stigma and discrimination

This document summarizes a project conducted by CONNECT-ZIMBABWE to train 60 church leaders in Zimbabwe in HIV/AIDS counseling. The training aimed to build the capacity of church leaders to design, implement, support, prevent, care for and support HIV/AIDS programs in the church context. Through participatory learning strategies, the training helped church leaders provide counseling from a spiritual perspective. As a result, church congregants and communities benefited from increased psychosocial support. The project also highlighted lessons learned, including the need to engage more female grassroots leaders and reform rigid beliefs that contribute to stigma.
Hiv stigma & discrimination by Dr Munawar Khan SACP
The document discusses HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination. It defines stigma as a mark or blemish upon someone that leads to unfavorable attitudes. Discrimination is defined as treating someone with prejudice or partiality. The document addresses how stigma can be external, through avoidance or rejection from others, or internal through low self-esteem and shame. Root causes of stigma discussed include lack of HIV/AIDS knowledge and moral judgments about how it is contracted. Expressions of stigma take forms like social isolation, verbal taunts, and restrictions on jobs or services. Stigma has major impacts like dividing communities and preventing people from accessing support.
Stigma & discrimination final by dr. munawar
Stigma is negative attitudes and beliefs directed towards people based on attributes like health status. HIV-related stigma refers specifically to stigma against people living with HIV. Discrimination occurs when stigma leads to unjust treatment, like denial of rights. HIV stigma is common and can negatively impact healthcare uptake and outcomes for people living with HIV. Reducing stigma requires education to increase understanding and sympathy for those affected by HIV.

This document summarizes the sustainable HIV/AIDS program at the United States International University in Kenya. It discusses the university establishing an AIDS Control Unit and peer education program to provide HIV prevention, testing, and treatment on campus in order to address stigma among students. Over 50% of students surveyed in 2005 expressed stigmatizing attitudes towards people living with HIV. To combat this, the university implemented an HIV/AIDS policy, increased education through peer educators, and ensured confidentiality of services. The sustainability of the peer education program relies on university commitment, adequate management and training of peer educators, and engagement of students.16 nancy gakahu and ruth joyce 171 174

The presentation discusses ICL's background and objectives, current programs at multiple universities, key findings from assessments showing increased condom use and HIV testing but continued high rates of sexual activity. It also describes real stories of HIV stigma on campuses and ICL's current anti-stigma activities. Challenges include the need for more stigma reduction training and accessible HIV testing and care. Recommendations call for greater involvement of people living with HIV and reviewing HIV testing guidelines to address stigma.Development C Cole
HIV/AIDS disproportionately impacts less developed countries (LEDCs) for several reasons:
1) Contraception and education about safe sex and STIs is not widely available, making transmission of HIV much more likely.
2) Treatment for HIV/AIDS is not widely accessible or affordable in LEDCs, so the virus cannot be treated as easily.
3) HIV can be passed from mother to child, especially in LEDCs where access to health clinics for testing is limited.
4) HIV/AIDS is reducing the working population in severely impacted countries in Africa, lowering economic productivity and development.

Constraints and Opportunities of Youth Peer Education as a Strategy for HIV/A...National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document discusses constraints and opportunities of youth peer education as a strategy for HIV/AIDS control in Kenya. It identifies several constraints such as inadequate budgetary support, socio-cultural barriers, corruption, high turnover of peer educators, poor recruitment, gender inequality, loose structure of programs, political violence, underdeveloped health sector, and weak training curriculums. However, it also presents opportunities like devolved health services that allow for more local capacity building, and expanding information/communication technologies that allow peer educators to better connect and share information. The document concludes that youth peer education has potential but requires more government and stakeholder support to address challenges and better integrate it within the health system.Sukholuhle ABSTRACT MSW
This study investigated the challenges faced by adolescents in South Africa with perinatally acquired HIV/AIDS. Through interviews with 12 HIV-positive adolescents, the study found they face stigma and discrimination. They also lack education about their condition and struggle with medication compliance and non-disclosure of their status. At times, their disease affected their academic progress. The adolescents need support systems to help them share experiences. The study recommends increased education on HIV/AIDS for caregivers, teachers, and communities to reduce stigma and empower adolescents. It also calls for further research on the challenges faced by caregivers.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to establish challenges in the teaching and learning of Christian Religious Education (CRE) that affect its provision and integration of effective HIV/AIDS education in secondary schools in Bungoma County, Kenya. The objective of the study was to establish the attitudes of CRE teachers and students towards the role of the subject in provision of HIV/AIDS education to learners in Kenya.Stratified random sampling was used to select the 62 secondary schools that were used in the study while simple random sampling was used to select 102 teachers and 462 students who participated in the study. The study was guided by concepts and theories on factors affecting curriculum development and innovation by curriculum developers such as Farrant, Bishop, Gross and others. The research instruments for this study werequestionnaires.Data from questionnaires was quantitativelyanalysed using descriptive statistics.The study established that both the CRE teachers and students had positive attitudes towards the role of the CRE in the provision of HIV/AIDS education. The study concluded that though most of the CRE teachers and students had a positive attitude towards the role of the subject in providing HIV/AIDS education, many felt what the subject was offering on HIV/AIDS was not adequate. Consequently, the study recommended that the ministry of Education should organize for in-service training or seminars for CRE teachers and students in secondary schools on the importance of the subject in providing HIV/AIDS education so that they continue to have a positive attitude towards the subject providing HIV/AIDS education.

HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic that is severely affecting South Africa. It is an incurable disease that weakens the immune system and leaves those infected vulnerable to other illnesses. South Africa has a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, with 29.1% of pregnant women infected. SOS Children operates in South Africa caring for children orphaned by or infected with HIV/AIDS, providing them with shelter, education, and medical care.
AUCC Presentation.pptx
This presentation provides an overview of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) in Ghana. The objectives are to understand the forms of stigma, appreciate its impact, and find ways to end it. HIV prevalence in Ghana is consistently over 1% and it is a generalized epidemic. Stigma negatively impacts PLHIV's quality of life and ability to access healthcare. It takes many forms including self-stigma, governmental stigma through discriminatory policies, healthcare stigma like denial of care, and stigma in employment and communities through social isolation and rejection. Ending stigma is critical to effectively respond to the HIV epidemic in Ghana.

The underground HIV epidemic in Eastern Europe and Central Asia disproportionately affects children and young people. Over one third of new HIV infections in the region are among those aged 15-24, and more than 80% of people living with HIV are under 30. The epidemic is driven by injecting drug use and increasing sexual transmission. Many children experience homelessness, engage in high-risk behaviors, and have limited access to healthcare and social support due to poverty, family problems, and weak social systems following the collapse of the Soviet Union. While some progress has been made, more needs to be done to expand access to services, address stigma, and change social environments to protect vulnerable children from HIV.

This document discusses adolescent sexuality and HIV/AIDS. It defines key terms like adolescence and sexuality. A global survey found that 11-22% of adolescents in developing countries and Latin America had sex by ages 15-19. While some schools provide sex education, it is not common across communities. Risk of HIV infection is higher for girls due to higher exposure to rape and violence. The document recommends introducing comprehensive sex education for adolescents, expanding voluntary counseling and testing centers for youth, and using media and community education to raise awareness about prevention.Addiction treatment methadone perspectives from a qualitative study

This document summarizes a qualitative study on methadone perspectives from people who inject drugs in Kenya. The study aimed to understand the risk environment for people who inject drugs and the impact of harm reduction services. Key findings included the limited availability of addiction treatment previously, but high hopes for a new methadone program to help manage withdrawal symptoms and support rehabilitation without needing to attend long-term residential programs. However, the methadone program had not yet started after being announced two years prior, so uncertainty and skepticism had grown about whether it would actually be implemented.More Related Content

Adolescent sexuality gender response to sex education and implications to hiv...National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document discusses adolescent sexuality and HIV/AIDS. It defines key terms like adolescence and sexuality. A global survey found that 11-22% of adolescents in developing countries and Latin America had sex by ages 15-19. While some schools provide sex education, it is not common across communities. Risk of HIV infection is higher for girls due to higher exposure to rape and violence. The document recommends introducing comprehensive sex education for adolescents, expanding voluntary counseling and testing centers for youth, and using media and community education to raise awareness about prevention.Addiction treatment methadone perspectives from a qualitative study
Addiction treatment methadone perspectives from a qualitative studyNational Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document summarizes a qualitative study on methadone perspectives from people who inject drugs in Kenya. The study aimed to understand the risk environment for people who inject drugs and the impact of harm reduction services. Key findings included the limited availability of addiction treatment previously, but high hopes for a new methadone program to help manage withdrawal symptoms and support rehabilitation without needing to attend long-term residential programs. However, the methadone program had not yet started after being announced two years prior, so uncertainty and skepticism had grown about whether it would actually be implemented.Access to care for hiv infected pwid what can be done

Peer educators aim to build student capacity in peer education, reproductive health services, and increasing HIV/AIDS awareness through behavioral change communication. Young people are more comfortable receiving information from peers rather than adults. Institutions of higher learning have many students at risk of HIV due to lack of information and services. Peer educators are students who volunteer to educate and positively influence attitudes around sexuality, health rights, and HIV/AIDS prevention through peer-to-peer guidance and counseling. A study conducted HIV counseling and testing as well as promoting safe male circumcision through peer educator outreach and found high testing and circumcision rates as well as increased condom use among students.Final summary presentation 6th conference day 3 take home
Final summary presentation 6th conference day 3 take homeNational Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE Kenya)
This document summarizes discussions from the 6th Conference on HIV prevention, treatment, and policy recommendations. It covers three tracks: 1) progress and challenges in HIV prevention, treatment, and support, 2) evidence-informed behavioral interventions, and 3) social determinants, capacity building, partnerships, and advocacy. Key accomplishments include expanded access to antiretroviral treatment, decreased treatment costs, and increased male involvement in prevention of mother-to-child transmission. However, reduced funding for prevention, high stigma, and non-communicable diseases competing for resources pose challenges. Recommendations include increasing prevention budgets, strengthening health services for all populations, and enhancing community involvement in health planning.Is Kenya’s health system ready for devolved governance?

LVCT Health partnered with Safaricom, Kenya's largest mobile service provider, to expand their one2one youth hotline program. Through this public-private partnership, calls to the hotline were subsidized and hosted at Safaricom's call center, allowing LVCT Health to reach more rural youth with HIV and SRH information. The number of calls increased dramatically from 150,000 in 2011 to over 1 million in 2013. The partnership demonstrated how collaborating with private companies can help scale up HIV prevention efforts among youth through improved infrastructure, data collection, and reduced costs. The document recommends further evaluating such interventions and embracing opportunities public-private partnerships provide to jointly strengthen HIV and RH services.Role of Sonysugar AIDS Control Unit (ACU) in HIV and AIDS reduction program i...

This document summarizes LVCT Health's experience building the capacities of organizations led by people with disabilities (DPOs) in Nyanza, Kenya to improve access to sexual and reproductive health and HIV services. LVCT Health used a participatory approach to provide training, mentorship, and coaching to three DPOs over three years. As a result, the DPOs gained stable income sources, policy documents, referral systems, and the ability to engage in advocacy. The process showed that peer-led DPOs are effective, and working with them requires patience and sustained support. There is a need to better include people with disabilities in national health planning and make services more accessible and sensitive to their needs.What Makes Institutional Strengthening Work: NOPE’s Experience

Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.

Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

How stigma and discrimination hampers efforts at the univers
- 1. How stigmatization and discrimination hampers HIV/AIDS campaigns, support and care at Kenyan Universities Chakai Eluid
- 2. Chekai Khisa Eliud, Director University Students AIDS Control Association (USACA) University of Nairobi, Box 30197- 00100, Nairobi 0733-586178 chekai2001@yahoo.ca,usacauon@yahoo.com
- 3. HIV/AIDSHIV/AIDS continues to pose a major threat to Higher Education in Kenya It increases operating costs but reduces productivity It is unraveling hard won development gains in Africa and will have a crippling effect on its future prospects
- 4. M.J. Kelly says a thick cloak of ignorance surrounds the HIV/AIDS situation at Universities in Africa This cloak is amply lined with layers of secrecy, silence denial and fear of stigmatization and discrimination The consequence of this is that it is difficult for those who are willing to come out publicly about their HIV status This has contributed to the absence of clearly identified Persons living with HIV/AIDS groups in Universities
- 5. Lessons learned: In settings where people have come out openly stating they are HIV Positive, others have also had the courage to come out and stated their status thus reducing stigma and boosting the HIV/AIDS campaigns and all kinds of support.
- 6. Recommendations: There is need for programmes in Universities that will provide incentives for people infected with HIV to come out and declare their status.
- 7. ways and incentives that can be used to get students to come out and declare their status and form support groups that will boost the HIV/AIDS campaigns:- Psychosocial Support and Counseling Material Support Secrecy and Confidentiality Treatment Peer Education promotion that is fully supported by the University
- 8. THANK YOU
