This document describes a proposed community-based participatory research program to decrease HIV and its risk factors among African Americans in Washington D.C. The program will provide HIV/AIDS education to participants aged 13-30 across 8 African American churches over 8 weekly classes. Data will be collected pre- and post-intervention to measure changes in risk behaviors like condom use and number of sexual partners. Collaboration with local health and community organizations is also discussed. The goal is to address common risk factors like access to healthcare and housing through faith-based education and prevention strategies.

The document discusses the pros and cons of a "test and treat" approach to HIV prevention. It notes that testing and treating HIV early could preserve the immune system, decrease transmission and mortality rates, and incentivize more testing. However, it may not be feasible in the current economic environment and ensuring adherence remains challenging. The document considers the approach from individual, program, and community perspectives.

The document discusses treatment as prevention and whether universal testing and treatment for HIV is a viable strategy. It notes that while population-level discussions assume individual behavior, adherence to treatment regimens could be an issue. There are also concerns about coercion, limited drug formulations, and shifting responsibility for prevention onto people living with HIV. Implementing universal testing and treatment also poses practical challenges around health system resources. Further research is still needed on how antiretroviral treatment impacts transmission dynamics among gay men.
Introduction of "Let's Talk about Chlamydia" panel by Tom Beall, Managing Director, Global Director of Social Marketing, Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide
Male involvement in PMTCT programs was promoted through a pilot program introducing rapid syphilis testing alongside existing HIV testing for pregnant women and their partners in ANC clinics in Zambia. The objectives were to determine feasibility of same-day testing and treatment for syphilis, identify dual infections, and assess effect on male partner uptake. A partner invitation slip was developed and nurses were trained in its use. Preliminary results found successes in same-day treatment reducing missed opportunities and national campaigns encouraging uptake of testing by male partners through invitation slips. Challenges included counseling for discordant results and meeting men's health needs within busy MCH departments.
This document outlines a public health campaign to increase awareness of Pap smear testing among African American women ages 22-65. The campaign will address abnormal Pap smear results and educate women on cervical cancer treatment and early detection. It will use free media like Facebook, blogs, and YouTube to disseminate information and encourage feedback. The campaign is requesting $5,000 to fund radio/bus ads and two community events on cervical cancer prevention. The goal is to improve follow-up rates after abnormal Pap smear results in the African American community.
In an effort to reach a broader audience, the Lancet asked us to visualise the findings of a series of academic papers on HIV in sex workers. I analysed the papers to determine an over-arching story to communicate the series beyond the medical and science communities. The infographic was a huge success for the Lancet, who continue to work with the agency. It got lots of traction on Twitter, with hundreds of retweets. It was picked up by the Washington Post, Upworthy, Huffington Post and the Independent, who continued the conversation.

This tutorial provides information about mental illness including definitions, prevalence, explanations for lack of treatment, stigma, relationship to violence, treatment methods including psychotherapy and medications, and factors influencing treatment effectiveness. The tutorial discusses myths around mental illness, explains different treatment approaches, and aims to help users understand mental illness and treatment options as well as evaluate the relationship between mental illness and violence and factors influencing psychotherapy outcomes.
This document summarizes data from surveys of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Australia regarding HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing rates from 2003-2007. It finds that while HIV testing improved, the frequency of individual STI tests increased but not the overall proportion tested for STIs other than HIV. Some areas still needing attention are some men not being tested for HIV or STIs, and some being tested for one but not the other. HIV-positive men were still more likely to be tested than other men. Testing behaviors were associated with risk taking.
The person are now seen as mentally ill persons who requires care and protection. The Act also takes care of mentally ill person who are wandering aimlessly.
Dr. Sally Gainsbury: Overcoming the Stigma of Problem GamblingHorizons RG
Dr. Sally Gainsbury presented on overcoming the stigma of problem gambling. She defined stigma as a social process that discredits and devalues individuals. There are two main types of stigma - public stigma formed by society and felt stigma which is internalized. Stigma has negative consequences like discrimination, avoidance of help-seeking, and disrupted relationships. It is a significant barrier to problem gamblers seeking treatment due to fear of judgment and shame. Addressing stigma through empowering gamblers, educating professionals, and reducing stereotypes can help reduce its negative impacts and improve treatment outcomes.

Stigma and Mental Illness – A Barrier to Health Seeking
The document discusses several myths and facts related to mental health. It notes that mental health problems are very common, affecting 1 in 5 American adults and half of children by age 14. However, less than 20% of children with mental health issues receive treatment. Additionally, the vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent. The document aims to dispel several common myths and promote understanding of mental health issues.
Mental illness stigma ppt slides - cultural infoJoe Tinkham
This document discusses mental illness stigma in several non-Western cultures. It finds that most cultures exhibit somatization of emotional distress and idioms of distress that are culturally specific. Treatment often focuses on pharmacotherapy due to stigma, and families prefer to keep mental illness private. While biomedical views are more common in urban areas, traditional beliefs involving spirit possession or witchcraft remain influential, especially rurally. Integrating biomedical and traditional views into mental healthcare may help reduce stigma.
This document discusses challenging common myths and stigma around mental illness. It notes that mental illnesses can affect anyone regardless of intelligence, social class, or income. Further, it emphasizes that mental illnesses should be treated similarly to physical illnesses, as illnesses, not character flaws. The document encourages understanding mental illnesses and supporting those affected.
This document outlines strategies for challenging mental health stigma. It begins with definitions of stigma and discusses the causes and manifestations of stigma, including ignorance, fear, and negative media portrayals. The document then describes different types of stigma such as self-stigma and enacted stigma. It notes that stigma can lead to discrimination and negative consequences for those with mental illness, including reluctance to seek treatment. The three most effective ways to challenge stigma identified are education to promote facts over misperceptions, contact with those experiencing mental illness, and protest against negative media portrayals.
AFAO is currently undertaking a project to examine existing Australian and international social and behavioural research on gay men’s sexual and social behaviour from an HIV health promotion perspective, and to identify gaps in research and health practitioners’ knowledge that could be explored through additional research.
This presentation provides an overview of the development of the report to date, including a summary of some specific sections of the report.
This presentation was given by Dr Dean Murphy, AFAO HIV Education Officer, at the AFAO National HIV Forum, 17 October 2014.
This document summarizes a presentation on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV prevention. Key points include that PrEP with daily Truvada can reduce HIV risk by over 90% when taken consistently, and several studies found PrEP reduced HIV transmission among high-risk groups. PEP should be initiated within 72 hours of potential HIV exposure to reduce risk and consists of a 28-day course of Truvada plus raltegravir or dolutegravir. Timely testing and medication adherence are important for the effectiveness of both PrEP and PEP.
The document summarizes discussions and findings from the International AIDS Conference 2010 regarding HIV prevention targeting couples. It discusses factors that influence risk behavior in couples, including stigma, lack of communication about HIV status, and trust issues. Interventions should address stigma, support discordant couples, and promote healthy relationships through education, counseling, and peer support groups.
John de Wit, (NCHSR) argues that strengthening HIV prevention approaches will benefit significantly from drawing on behaviour change science. This presentation was given at the AFAO/NAPWA Gay Men's HIV Health Promotion Conference in May 2012.
Epidemiology of HIV & AIDS.pptx presentation 2024Motahar Alam
Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS encompasses the study of the distribution and determinants of HIV infection and AIDS-related illnesses within populations. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition characterized by a weakened immune system, making individuals susceptible to various infections and illnesses.
Key aspects of the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS include:
Prevalence and Incidence: Prevalence refers to the total number of people living with HIV/AIDS within a population at a specific time, while incidence refers to the rate of new infections occurring within a given period. These measures help understand the burden of the disease and its spread over time.
Demographic Patterns: HIV/AIDS affects different demographic groups differently. Factors such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographical location can influence susceptibility, access to healthcare, and outcomes. For example, in many regions, young adults and certain minority populations may have higher rates of infection.
Transmission Routes: Understanding how HIV is transmitted is crucial for prevention efforts. HIV primarily spreads through unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing contaminated needles or syringes, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. Other modes of transmission include blood transfusions (though rare in regions with screening protocols) and occupational exposure.
Risk Factors: Certain behaviors and circumstances increase the risk of HIV transmission. These include having multiple sexual partners, engaging in unprotected sex, using intravenous drugs, lack of access to healthcare, poverty, stigma, and discrimination. Additionally, structural factors such as laws and policies can influence risk behaviors and access to prevention and treatment services.
Global Distribution: HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic, but its prevalence varies widely between countries and regions. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the most affected, with the highest burden of HIV infections worldwide. However, significant progress has been made in some regions, while new challenges emerge in others, such as Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Progress in Prevention and Treatment: Efforts to combat HIV/AIDS include prevention strategies such as promoting condom use, harm reduction programs for injecting drug users, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and comprehensive sexual education. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed HIV/AIDS into a manageable chronic condition for many, reducing mortality and transmission rates.
Challenges and Future Directions: Despite significant progress, challenges remain in the global response to HIV/AIDS. These include disparities in access to healthcare, stigma and discrimination, funding gaps, emergence of drug-resistant strains, and persistent barriers to prevention and treatment in certain populations.
At the end of the training, participants will be able to:
State the indications for PrEP
State the eligibility for PrEP
Name the 5 main eligibility criteria for PrEP
Explain how to exclude Acute HIV Infection

This presentation on AFAO's recent work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities was given by Michael Frommer at the SiREN Symposium in Perth, June 2016.
The document outlines a four-phase activity to develop culturally appropriate online health resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as several CALD populations in Australia. The activity will be overseen by ASHM and involves auditing existing resources, consulting with communities, developing new resources, distributing and promoting them, and evaluating their uptake. Key steps include establishing advisory committees, reviewing current resources, holding workshops to prioritize new materials, subcontracting organizations to create resources, and measuring the impact through surveys and web analytics. The goal is to prevent blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections among these at-risk communities through improved health education.
The document discusses changes to the structure and priorities of AFAO for 2016/17. Due to funding changes, AFAO's international program will expand while its domestic program shrinks. Some staff will leave and the organization will restructure accordingly. Key priorities will include leadership and communications, advocacy, coordination, policy, capacity building, and international work. The organization will need to work smarter with its reduced capacity by collaborating with other community organizations.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Pride, prejudice and... PrEP
1. Pride, prejudice and... PrEP : appraising the impact of new prevention technologies Dean Murphy AFAO HIV Educators’ Conference 2010 Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations
By the end of 2010 several studies on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)—including two phase III trials—are scheduled to have concluded and/or have released results. In this presentation I will just cover three things: 1) The when of PrEP. What is on the horizon. Also really briefly the what, who and where of current PrEP clinical. [which ARVs are being tested as potential prophylaxis against HIV infection, in which combination, and the particular dosing strategies; who is enrolled the current trials, meaning the primary HIV risk behaviours of the trial populations; and 4) where the trials are taking place.] 2) A reminder of some of the associations with HIV-related stigma among gay and other MSM in Australia from John de Wit’s presentation yesterday. 3) Some speculation on the impact of PrEP. That’s is, how might PrEP increase, or even decrease, stigma and discrimination. This speculation is based on some of the experience of PrEP clinical trials and the introduction of other prevention technologies, conversations with other working in the field, and the approach that PrEP is not a stable object that will do the same thing in all the environments in which it is introduced. Its effects might rather be quite different. So, key questions are: how might the way PrEP interact with existing technologies to add to or reduce stigma? How might existing stigma affect what PrEP will look like in Australia?
This slide from a site formerly called PrEP watch which is jointly produced by the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition (AVAC) and UCLA shows the ongoing PrEP trials.
The second last column in the table shows the intervention arms of the current trials. The first candidate for PrEP is tenofovir on its own which you can see is being used in the first two trials at the top. However as you move down the column you can see (in the boxes with underlining) a number of trials are assessing Truvada (that is tenofovir in combination with FTC) as PrEP. The iPrEX trial of tenofovir and FTC which is due to release results in 2011 is the first phase III study to use a tenofovir/FTC combination rather than tenofovir alone, and is also the first phase III trial among MSM . Two studies are also looking at tenofovir as a topical microbicide.
