HCV and HIV Co-Infection among Adolescents and Young Adults in Massachusetts:...
This document discusses HCV and HIV co-infection among adolescents and young adults in Massachusetts. It finds that reported HCV cases have increased significantly among those aged 15-25 since 2002, likely due to injection drug use. A data match found a small number of HIV/HCV co-infections in this age group, indicating potential for HIV prevention. Effective integrated prevention programs for both viruses are needed to address this emerging public health issue.
A PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF THE ONSET OF SEXUAL BEHAVIOR & RISK IN PERINATALLYHIV-...
This study examined the onset of sexual behavior and risk among youth perinatally infected with HIV compared to HIV-affected youth. Using data from two longitudinal studies of over 400 youth, the study found that:
1) Perinatally HIV-infected youth showed delayed onset of sexual behaviors and unprotected sex compared to socio-demographically matched HIV-negative youth.
2) Youth with HIV-positive caregivers were less likely to report onset of unprotected sex compared to HIV-negative youth with HIV-negative caregivers.
3) Having an HIV-positive caregiver may serve a protective role by facilitating discussions around HIV prevention and access to services.

Voluntary medical male circumcision vs hiv prevention...evidence.
Voluntary Medical Male circumcision has been proven to be an evidence based route of HIV prevention . Its also envisaged that the cost of HIV treatment in the next ten year can be reduced by tenth fraction with an elaborate VMMC performed in two years.
The uptake of VMMC is still not impressive in sub-saharan Africa.
This slides present the evidence for the efficiency of VMMC in HIV prevention.
Gender Based Violence
This document discusses gender-based violence and its intersection with HIV risk. It summarizes research showing that gender inequities and violence increase women's risk of HIV by inhibiting their ability to negotiate condom use and increasing the likelihood their male partners have HIV. The research focused on documenting the links between intimate partner violence and HIV risk in India. A randomized controlled trial of an HIV prevention program for abused wives in India found it significantly reduced unprotected sex and increased condom use relative to a control group.

sti amongst truckers in india
This document discusses sexually transmitted infections among long-distance truck drivers in India from a social perspective. It finds that truck drivers engage in high-risk sexual behaviors such as paying for sex while away from home for long periods of time. This puts them at risk of contracting STIs like HIV/AIDS. Social factors that influence this behavior include separation from partners, stress, alcohol use, and power dynamics with sex workers. STIs have become a major public health issue in India, disproportionately affecting young people, and truck drivers play a role in spreading infections from urban to rural areas. Prevention efforts need to address the social and environmental factors that influence truck drivers' risk behaviors.
Abstract_Williams_ThaliaPHD2014
This study examined the relationship between neighborhood safety during adolescence and risk of sexually transmitted diseases during young adulthood among African Americans. The study found that African American adolescents who reported living in safer neighborhoods were less likely to have multiple sex partners or a chlamydia infection as young adults. Additionally, adolescent delinquency like selling drugs predicted later chlamydia infection. The results suggest public health policies should focus on improving neighborhood safety to help reduce racial disparities in sexually transmitted diseases.

Sexual Violence in Conflict Settings_Christelle Moussallem
This document discusses sexual violence in conflict settings and the health system response to victims in Lebanon. It outlines several barriers to establishing a comprehensive health response, including stigma, reluctance from healthcare providers, and lack of coordination. The case of Lebanon during the Syrian refugee crisis is examined, where 21% of refugees experienced gender-based violence but the health system was initially unable to respond. The document then details some progress made over time in Lebanon through training programs, coordination efforts, developing treatment protocols, and policy changes. However, it concludes that socio-cultural and institutional barriers can hamper an effective response, and recommends further national plans, integration in medical education, and data collection to improve health responses to conflict-related sexual violence.
Durban Centre
The survey aimed to understand the risk factors threatening the sexual health of lesbians and women who have sex with women (WSW) in Durban, South Africa. It interviewed 60 lesbians and WSW aged 15-35, with 75% Black African and 25% Indian/Asian. Many respondents had come out to friends and siblings but not parents. Reasons for not coming out varied and included fear of rejection. Health issues found included alcohol use by over 68% and drug use like marijuana. Rates of STIs and violence in relationships were low but underreporting was an issue. Access to sexual healthcare faced challenges like stigma and lack of lesbian-friendly services.
May 18 2011 Presentation: Part 1
This document discusses steps to reach a vision of eliminating HIV infections and ensuring access to treatment. It notes the need to consider health disparities, upcoming healthcare reforms, and new testing strategies. Over 4,400 people in Central Texas have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, with most cases in Travis County but growing numbers in surrounding areas. Outreach, prevention education, testing and disease intervention are key entry points to care. Medical services then provide treatment, medication and referrals to support services through various funding sources.
Facing the Future of HIV and STD in Texas Epidemiology, Impact, and Priorities
This document summarizes epidemiological data on sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV in Texas. It finds that rates of STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis are disproportionately high among Black populations. Nearly 25% of new HIV diagnoses in Texas are late diagnoses, defined as an AIDS diagnosis within a month of HIV diagnosis. The data shows the need for expanded testing, treatment, and prevention programs that address social and structural factors to curb the spread of STDs and HIV in communities.
Latin@ Lives and the Next Generation of HIV Prevention: Policies, Politics a...
The document summarizes key points about Latinx communities and HIV/AIDS prevention including:
- Latinx people represent 15.3% of the US population but account for 24.8% of HIV diagnoses due to undercounting of Puerto Ricans.
- Substance use, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS are interlinked and increasing one risk can increase the others.
- Injection drug use and sex with injection drug users were major causes of AIDS cases among Hispanic women in the late 1990s.
- Harm reduction strategies like syringe exchange programs are effective in preventing HIV transmission and should be supported.
Alerting the public HIV among African Americans
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.
HIV/AIDS in Special Population Groups in Texas
- The document discusses HIV trends among women in Texas based on demographic and surveillance data from 2000-2008. It finds that Hispanic women ages 25-34 in Dallas make up the largest proportion of new HIV cases. The primary risk factor for transmission differs by age and ethnicity, with intravenous drug use being most common among older non-Hispanic white women and heterosexual sex being most common among younger Hispanic women. Late testing remains a significant issue, with half of 2008 cases estimated to have been long term late testers. Further analysis is needed to understand socioeconomic barriers and cues to testing in order to reduce transmission rates.
Strategies to Enhance Names-Based HIV Reporting in California
This document discusses strategies to enhance California's HIV reporting registry. It finds that up to 10,000 HIV-positive individuals may be missing from the registry. Adding these cases would be cost-effective due to increased Ryan White funding. The document recommends improving reporting at initial diagnosis and expanding outreach funding. It also suggests changing federal policies around case assignment and data collection.
The new public health and std hiv prevention
This document discusses social determinants of sexually transmitted infections. It explores how social factors like education, occupation, neighborhoods, and media can influence sexual behaviors and networks, thereby affecting STI spread. Key determinants of STI transmission include likelihood of transmission during sex, number of sexual partners, and partnership patterns. Factors like consistent condom use, access to healthcare, sex education, sexual network patterns, and timing of partnerships all influence STI rates at a population level.
Daniel Reeders: New Perspectives In Syphilis Control
An overview of syphilis prevention and testing campaigns given by Daniel Reeders from People Living With HIV/AIDS Victoria at AFAO's syphilis forum in May 2009.
CDC_HIV_JDaniels_writing sample
This study analyzed data from 2009 on newly reported HIV cases and their sexual partners in Dallas County, Texas. Of the 530 sexual partners tested who were contacts of people newly diagnosed with HIV, 74.7% (396 people) were previously aware of their positive HIV status, while 25.3% (134 people) were newly diagnosed. Although contact investigations are still effective, the majority of contacts for people newly diagnosed were already aware of their HIV positive status. Increasing HIV testing and early diagnosis can help lower transmission rates by decreasing the number of unaware infections.

Core practices that are moving from a pilot state to implementation at scale: Many of the
barriers facing HIV programs are common across countries. PEPFAR’s ECTs (described below in
Sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3) identified common issues affecting countries at various levels of
epidemic control and then developed a compendium of evidence-based solutions, approaches
and case-studies that highlight successful means of addressing common barriers. Additional
evidence-based approaches and case-studies will be incorporated into this living compendium
over time. As highlighted in this PEPFAR Solutions Platform, these practices can be rapidly
adapted and scaled to move countries forward.
Key considerations for all PEPFAR programs include:
• Bringing Interventions to Scale with Fidelity: Getting to HIV epidemic control is dependent on
several factors; not the least of which is the ability to rapidly scale successful interventions with
fidelity and demonstrated impact. However, the logistics of cost- effective programmatic scale
have proven challenging, with several implementation barriers. Implementation science
defines scalability as the capacity to expand or extend an intervention to account for a growth
factor that aims to fill a gap or address unmet need in a defined population group/geographic
area.
• Data and Information Technology: The enabling environment for data and information
technology is rapidly maturing across countries, creating space, opportunity, and needed
political will to harness the Data Revolution for epidemic control. OUs should consider
innovative ways to use data and information technology to improve efficiency and
sustainability in achieving epidemic control, beyond immediate PEPFAR indicator data
collection needs. As highlighted in the Data Revolution Innovation Toolkit, available on the
PEPFAR SharePoint, OUs are encouraged to explore, adapt, and scale these and other data
driven approaches to move country epidemic control forward.
Technology, HIV risk, and HIV prevention among young African American MSM
Presented at YTH Live 2014's Poster Session, review findings from an ongoing HIV prevention trial for young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) in Dallas and Houston TX.
Msm guide english_online
This document discusses issues related to advancing the sexual and reproductive health and human rights of men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV. It notes that MSM living with HIV face double stigma due to fear/ignorance around HIV transmission and negative attitudes towards MSM. Young MSM living with HIV face additional challenges accessing healthcare without parental consent. The document argues for a rights-based approach and inclusion of MSM in policymaking to address their disproportionately high rates of HIV infection worldwide due to criminalization, discrimination, and lack of access to appropriate healthcare services.
State Press - Dangerous liaisons
This document summarizes the rising rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among gay and bisexual men in Arizona, despite effective HIV/AIDS treatments. It describes a case study of a man who does not practice safe sex. While HIV treatment has reduced deaths, it has also led to more risky sexual behavior and increased rates of other STDs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. Health officials are concerned by the rise in STDs and advocate for more screening and education efforts.
Hiv and women
HIV disproportionately affects women, who make up nearly half of those infected globally. Women are more vulnerable to HIV infection due to physical differences and complications during childbirth. In the US, most new HIV cases among women occur in 10 states, with nearly half in New York, Florida, Texas, California, and New Jersey. The largest age group of infected women is 25-34 years old. While HIV cannot be cured, treatment involves combinations of antiretroviral drugs that suppress the virus and stop disease progression.
HIV/AIDS among Women Who Have Sex with Women
This document summarizes information about HIV/AIDS among women who have sex with women. While there have been no confirmed cases of female-to-female sexual transmission, the possibility exists through exposure to vaginal secretions or menstrual blood via mucosal tissues. Some surveys have found risk factors like injection drug use or unprotected sex with men among women who have sex with women. Prevention recommendations include getting tested, using barriers like dams during oral sex, and considering sex with men a potential risk factor regardless of sexual identity.
Proposal Assignment
The document discusses barriers to HIV prevention and care for gay and bisexual African American males aged 18-24 in Sacramento County. It notes that this group has disproportionately high rates of HIV infection locally and nationally. Some key barriers include poverty, lack of health insurance, discrimination, homophobia, and lack of access to healthcare. The proposed "PrEP for Love" program aims to address this issue by providing HIV/STI education, access to pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, and linkage to culturally competent healthcare providers to reduce new HIV infections in this high-risk population. It seeks to replicate the success of a similar program in San Francisco that reported zero new HIV cases during its operation.

Icf Hiv And Tb 11 11 04
The document discusses the HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis epidemics globally and at the US-Mexico border region. It notes that HIV infects over 34 million people worldwide each year, while tuberculosis infects over 9 million and kills over 2 million. Both diseases disproportionately impact developing regions and vulnerable groups. Co-infection is common given their effects on the immune system. Prevention of HIV is key to controlling tuberculosis. Collaboration is needed to address the mobile population and binational nature of the epidemics at the US-Mexico border.
Risk and vulnerability
Risk refers to behaviors that can lead to HIV infection, like unprotected sex or needle sharing, while vulnerability is influenced by external factors beyond an individual's control. The document discusses how risk and vulnerability to HIV/AIDS vary in southern Indian states depending on typologies of sex work, prevalence of other STIs, and complex social behaviors among at-risk groups. It emphasizes that an enabling legal and policy environment is needed to effectively address HIV/AIDS through supporting human rights, reducing stigma, and allowing prevention programs to operate without barriers.
B.1 hiv-in-india
The document provides an overview of HIV/AIDS in India, focusing on what is known and what further data is needed for evidence-based decision making. It discusses HIV prevalence and risk factors in southern and northeastern states. While some data exists on high-risk groups like female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injecting drug users, more systematic data collection is needed to better understand trends over time and inform targeted prevention programs. A rights-based, evidence-informed approach is critical to effectively address HIV in India.

This document summarizes the status and management of HIV/AIDS in India. It finds that India has an estimated 2.4 million people living with HIV, with high prevalence states accounting for over half of infections. The epidemic is concentrated among high-risk groups and spread primarily through unprotected sex and injection drug use. The national response involves targeted interventions for high-risk groups, STI management, condom promotion, blood safety programs, counseling/testing, and care/treatment. While prevalence is declining overall, some low prevalence states are seeing rises, emphasizing the need to sustain prevention efforts.

This document summarizes the status of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India. Some key points:
- India has an estimated 2.4 million people living with HIV, with prevalence highest in the southern and northeastern states.
- The epidemic is concentrated among high-risk groups like sex workers, clients of sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injection drug users.
- Unsafe sex, lack of condom use, and injection drug use fuel transmission. Migration and the low status of women also increase vulnerability.
- The national response involves targeted interventions for high-risk groups, care/treatment, and prevention education through NACP programs.
Burden of HIV and Research Gaps Among Key Populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
Key populations including sex workers, men who have sex with men, and people who inject drugs experience disproportionately high HIV burdens in sub-Saharan Africa due to various biological, behavioral, and structural factors. HIV prevalence among female sex workers ranges from 10.9% in Eastern Europe to 36.9% in sub-Saharan Africa, where sex workers are 12 times more likely to be infected than other women. Men who have sex with men also experience high HIV prevalence, though data remains limited in sub-Saharan Africa. Combination prevention approaches including behavioral, biomedical, and structural interventions are needed to address the outsized impact of HIV on key populations.

Barry Adam, "The biomedical and the social in HIV prevention"
The document discusses different approaches to HIV prevention, including biomedical and social approaches. It notes that biomedical approaches have focused on technologies like vaccines, circumcision, and treatment as prevention, but these have had limited effectiveness. In contrast, social approaches like community mobilization have led to the most impactful prevention strategy of increased condom use. It argues we need prevention strategies that address the social organization and networks driving the epidemic.

Section 1: Introduction
The rise in the numbers of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) diagnoses is notable especially for racial and ethnic minority youth and adolescents aged 13 to 19 years (National Institute of Health, 2013). Approximately one half of all new HIV infections in the United States occur among person(s) younger than 25 years. Nearly 4 million new sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases each year occur among youth and adolescents (NIH, 2013). Reconciling data of 2015, 54.2% of high school students reported having sexual intercourse; of students reported sex during the previous months, 39% stated they didn’t use a condom during their last sexual encounter (United States Census Bureau, 2014). The number of sexually active among youth and adolescents, from 2001 to 2014, there’s been a significant increase in the percentage of youth and adolescents who were never taught about HIV/AIDS. Unified national HIV/AIDS surveillance system has enhanced the ability to monitor and characterize racial and ethnic minority youth populations affected by the HIV epidemic and provide information on the entire population of HIV infected persons who have been tested confidentially (NIH, 2014). Approximately 1.2 million people were living with HIV in the United States in 2014, 49% and 51% undiagnosed infections. Almost 50,000 people become newly infected each year, and in 2014, the estimated rate of diagnoses of HIV infection was 13.8 per 100,000 population (National Institute of Health, 2014). Social trust is associated with lowering the of course mortality rates and that associated HIV infection varied within racial and ethnic minority youth and adolescents. The risk factors that will be addressed in this paper are unprotected vaginal or anal sex, improving access to prevention and care services, inadequate sex education and drug use
Unprotected vaginal and anal sex
Participating in unprotected vaginal and anal sex, or sex without latex or polyurethane condoms is a major contributing factor of HIV rate in racial and ethnic minority youth and adolescents. In an infected youth or adolescents, the semen and blood contains high amount of HIV. During unprotected vaginal and anal sex HIV can easily pass from one person to another. Several studies link alcohol and drug use to higher rates of unprotected anal intercourse, higher numbers of sex partners, and inconsistent condom use (NIH, 2014). With these trends among racial and ethnic minority National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (2015) reported 21% minority youth and adolescent are infected with HIV while 79% youth and adolescent don’t know their status (National HIV Behavioral Surveillance, 2015).
Improving access to prevention and care services
Access to HIV prevention and treatment is an important step in helping achieve an HIV free generation, especially among racial and ethnic minority youth and adolescent. If someone ...
HIV
The document summarizes an analysis of a sexual risk reduction (HIV/AIDS) intervention program for African American women led by Ralph DiClemente. The randomized controlled trial aimed to increase consistent condom use through skills training based on social cognitive theory and the theory of gender and power. Results found women in the intervention had 2.1-4.1 higher odds of consistent condom use and improved communication compared to the control group. However, the study had limitations like not measuring long-term condom use and a p-value above 0.05, indicating no significant association between treatment and other factors.

Locations like hospitals are also prone to infections, as nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections can develop in patients after being admitted for medical care.
A bridge too near injecting drug users' sexual behaviour
This document summarizes a study on the personal profiles and health seeking behaviors of injecting drug users (IDUs) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study involved interviews with 120 IDUs attending a drug treatment center between March and September 2005. Key findings included: 1) Most respondents (60%) had little knowledge about diseases spread by injecting drugs or needle sharing, with only 17.5% mentioning HIV/AIDS. 2) Regarding protection, 29.2% mentioned not injecting drugs anymore while 34.2% mentioned using sterile needles/syringes. 3) The majority (60%) had never participated in a needle exchange program, with lack of awareness being a key barrier.
A basic understanding of HIV surveillance
HIV surveillance involves systematically collecting and analyzing HIV/AIDS data to guide prevention and treatment programs. Key aspects of HIV surveillance include monitoring prevalence, incidence, opportunistic infections, and antiretroviral drug resistance. Accurate case definitions and timely reporting are important for effective surveillance. The goals of HIV surveillance are to detect trends in the epidemic, identify at-risk groups, evaluate prevention programs, and inform research and policy.

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.
